Florencjusz
From the Latin florere, to bloom, so the name carries the sense of flourishing. It goes only to men, and it stays rare enough that most Poles have never met one.
Florencjusz Pronunciation
Florencjusz is pronounced flo-RENTS-yoosh (/flɔˈrɛnt͡sjuʂ/).
What Florencjusz means
Where Florencjusz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Florencjusz grows from the Latin florere, to bloom. The same root gives florens, flourishing, and stands behind the English words floral and flourish. Its short meaning in Polish is kwitnący, blooming. The name reads almost like a small forecast of vigor.
The Latin form Florentius belonged to several early saints recorded in the martyrologies. Poland kept the longer, more ornate ending, and the name arrived with the church calendar rather than with fashion.
Florencjusz has a cross-gender partner, Florencja, which doubles as the Polish name for the city of Florence. That link gives the masculine form a faint Italian shine.
The name is rare now. On a Polish class register it would sit alone, unrepeated, an old formal name among the Kacpers and Szymons. Read the ending back to its source and you reach florere, to flower.

Florencjusz appears 3 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 15 May.
