I kind of doubt it because I think Florida's last was already Evans from way back on 'Maude' and 'Maude' debuted in 1972. I don't think anyone sat around thinking when the show premiered "That Esther Rolle's such a fantastic actress lets give her her own spinoff in a couple of years and we'll call her character Florida after the actress's own home state- and for her surname we'll make it one of the co-stars on 'All in the Family' (which this show has just spinoff from) who could produce that show for her in a few years time!"

Michael would have LOVED to have his last name be "BLACK"...
