Tell me the meanings of Flora, the Goddess, and the plant meanings.?

Question

My name is Flora, tell me what it means and tell me if you are fond of it. No negative comments. If you dislike it, simply say I dis like it or I supremely dis like it. Of course I know what it means... I just like to hear what people think of exotic names. Oh and tell me if you know a girl named Shaneekwa. Very random I know.

Answer 1

Flora

by Micha F. Lindemans

The goddess of blossoming flowers of spring. She had a minor temple on the Quirinalis and was given a sanctuary near the Circus Maximus in 238 BCE. The festival of the Floralia, celebrated on April 28 -May 1, existed until the 4th century CE. Flora is identified with the Greek Chloris.

Sorry don't know anyone by the second name. Exotic names can be nice, and uncommon.

Answer 2

Roman mythology,

Flora was a goddess of flowers and the season of spring. While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddesses, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime. Her festival, the Floralia, was held in April or early May and symbolized the renewal of the cycle of life, marked with dancing, drinking, and flowers. Her Greek equivalent was Chloris. Flora was married to Favonius, the wind god, and her companion was Hercules. Due to her association with plants, her name in modern English also means plant life.

I know a Sheadia, but no Shaneekwa

and these names sound nice,

My name is exotic too!
