Floirac (in French pronounced as /flwaʁak/) is a commune in the Lot department (46) in south-western France.[2]
The commune is located in Quercy on the Causse of Floirac. It is watered by the Dordogne, and bordered to the north-west by its tributary, the Tourmente. Floirac has a surface of 19.02 km² and has 265 inhabitants (as of 2016), which makes a population density of 14 inhabitants per km². The coordinates are 44° 55' N and 1° 39' E. The altitude varies between 90 and 345 metres above sea level, with 140 metres at the town hall.[3] The D43 road and a single track railway crosses it.
The toponym Floirac is based on the Gallo-Roman anthroponymy Florus. The endpoint -ac is derived from the Gallic -acon suffix (itself of the common Celtic *-Āko-), often latinized in-acum in the texts. This Floracum toponym is found in Floracum fundum which meant: the domain of Florus.
