Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Wikipedia derives the name from the French form of Florentia, a Roman martyr and saint under Diocletian; Florence Nightingale, born in the Italian city, made it a common girl's name in English. Kept neutral because the meaning (blossoming) is not religious; low confidence: a scholar's call.
