The story of Fiorella
Flour is named from flos because it was the flower, the best part, of the meal, and English spelled the two words identically until the nineteenth century. Fiorella is a modern Italian name and is common in Peru and Italy. Fiorello La Guardia carried the masculine. It appears in American records in current use.
Meaning
little flower
From the Italian fiore, 'flower', from the Latin flos, with the diminutive -ella. The same Latin gives flora, floral, flourish and — because it was the finest part of the grain — flour. The Italian is ordinary and the reading undisputed.
