Floss Origin and Meaning

The name Floss is a girl's name meaning "flourishing, prosperous".

A diminutive of Florence, with a cosy vintage vibe, a candyfloss sweetness, and a touch of sassy and outdoorsyness too. Occasionally used as a given name back in the 19th century in the US, though considerably less so than longer form Flossie, Floss has predominantly remained as a nickname.
