Name Meaning
Haitian: from the male personal name Fleurimond, an altered form of Florimond, which is derived from Latin florus ‘blooming, flowering’ and the common ancient Germanic name element mund ‘protection’. Alternatively, perhaps an altered form of French Fleurimont, a habitational name from a place so named.
