Florida retained its name, derived from the Spanish term "La Florida," meaning "the land of flowers," as it was established during Spanish exploration. The name was already widely recognized and associated with the region's identity. Keeping the name helped maintain continuity and honor its historical roots, even as it transitioned to English control and eventual statehood.
