Etymology
Florida comes from the Spanish name Pascua Florida, which means 'festival of flowers' and was the name given by the explorer Juan Ponce de León when he arrived during the Easter season. Think of flor like the English word flower or flora, so Florida is like 'land of flowers', which helps explain its image as a warm, sunny place full of plants.
