This name derives from novel personage in numerous epicial-chilvarous, reported to real figure of Dagoberto (of dynasty Merovingi - French-in 600-700 years) that it came called from author "Florvant" for its courage (Flor-vanté= Flower-sung, boasted, exalted). Is name of Italian Middle Ages, and for into phonetic assonance with Florvant (French), also reported to actions of Florvant hero, it was transformed in italian language in Fioravante in order to indicate a person brave in war and without fear that enemy faces ... In Italy this name appears in 1400 to Bologna is a Fioravante Fioravanti architect constructor of communal palace and in ancient testament of 1533 to Solofra (Avellino province) "...per lassito confirmato per condam messere Fioravante de Maffeis mio patre..."(in ancient italian language).
