Name Meaning
Altered form of French Flournois: derivative of Old French flour ‘flour’ and noix ‘nut’, apparently a nickname for someone who used nut flour. The surname Flournois is no longer found in France.
History: This surname is listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors (along with the variant Flourney) and also in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America.
