📖 About Fleur
Fleur is the French word for "flower," adopted as a given name in Francophone cultures and increasingly popular in English-speaking countries for its delicate sound. Derived from the Latin "flos," it carries centuries of poetic and botanical symbolism. Popularised in English literature through Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga and later by J.K. Rowling's Fleur Delacour, the name has seen a modern revival in Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands.
