Best Answer

It is an abbreviation for 'flourished'.

It is often used when the dates of birth and death are not known. For example, if dates for a composer were given as 'fl 1584-1602' it would show that there is documentary evidence that their work became best known during those years, but that there was no clear evidence of their birth and death.
