The fleury Surname
fleury Name Meaning and History
- from the medieval personal name Fleuri (Latin Florius, a derivative of the Roman family name Florus, from flos ‘flower’, genitive floris). This name was borne by a 3rd-century saint martyred in Nicomedia under the emperor Decius. There seems to have been some confusion with a Germanic personal name composed of the elements hlod ‘fame’ + ric ‘power’.
- habitational name from any of the various places in northern France which get their names from the Gallo-Roman personal name Florus (see above) + the locative suffix -acum.
- nickname from Old French fluri ‘flowered’, ‘variegated’ (a derivative of flurFlower). This could have denoted someone who dressed in an extravagant mixture of colors or perhaps one who had a blotchy complexion.
