This structure suggests that the name may have initially been bestowed upon someone who held a position or title related to royal gardens or flower cultivation.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the FLORESREYES surname can be found in the archives of the Spanish Inquisition, where a certain Juan FLORESREYES was mentioned in a trial record from Seville in 1521.
