Juan Ponce de León named his discovery "La Florida," which translates to "the flowery land." He named it in 1513 during his exploration of the region, likely due to the lush vegetation and blooming flowers he encountered. The name was also linked to the Spanish Easter season, known as Pascua Florida.
