Fleury (name)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The surname Fleury is of French and English (of Norman origin) and is classified as a toponymic surname (habitational name from Fleury). It derives from several places in France named Fleury,[1] which themselves originate from the Gallo-Roman personal name Florus (from Latin florus meaning "blooming" or "flowering") combined with the locative suffix -acum.[1] The surname is primarily of French and Norman origin, but it is also found in England and in Germany.[1]
