The origin of the name Flores
Flores is an ancient Spanish patronymic noble surname meaning "son of Fruela" or "son of Floro" (derived from the Latin personal name Florus, meaning "flourishing" or "blooming"). Originating during the early Middle Ages in the Kingdom of Asturias and Castile, the lineage expanded rapidly across León, Extremadura, and Andalusia during the Reconquista. Members of the House of Flores served as Grandees of Spain, royal counselors, and military governors throughout the Iberian Peninsula and New Spain.
The symbolism of the Flores coat of arms
Regal and protective, the Flores coat of arms features a central deep blue inner shield charged with five golden fleurs-de-lis arranged in a saltire pattern (2-1-2). The shield is enclosed within an argent / silver or white border (bordure) charged with eight black ermine spots. In Iberian heraldry, the blue shield and golden fleurs-de-lis symbolise loyalty, purity, royal favor, and noble expansion. The silver border and black ermine spots represent judicial dignity, truth, and unblemished honor. The formal recognition of this coat of arms was documented in Castilian nobility rolls and registered in the Nobiliario Español and J.B. Rietstap’s Armorial Général.
