Fiorentini

Fiorentini is an Italian surname meaning “Florentines” or “people from Florence.” It derives from Firenze, the Italian name for the city of Florence, with the suffix -ini forming a demonym or patronymic that indicates “descendants of” or “belonging to.” The masculine form Fiorentino corresponds to “Florentine” in the singular.

As a surname, Fiorentini indicates ancestral connection to Florence, though like many demonymic names it has spread beyond its city of origin. In contemporary Italy it is found across regions, with stronger historical ties in central and northern areas associated with Florence, and it is also present in Italian diaspora communities abroad, notably in the Americas, Europe, and Australia.

Notable bearers of the name have appeared in various fields, including sports, academia, and the arts.

Related names and terms include Fiorentino and Fiorentina, the latter often used as the feminine form and also associated with Florentine culture or cuisine.
