One of the later pages mentions that the name came from "cirrocumulus floccus", the cloud formation.
The Latin word is "flocci", which means hairs of wool, and it was also used to denote an insignificant thing.
English normally preserves the double consonants of Latin, and in this case it has already done this in the English words derived from "floccus", e.g. "to flocculate" and "flocculent".
In clouds, it was used due to the resemblance of those clouds with curly sheep wool.
Even the original Latin word would be a poor choice, because, as I have said above, it was also used to designate something that is insignificant, and such a meaning is undesirable for a company, product or service.
