All of Gen 8's important characters are named after plants and flowers in Japanese and English, besides Nessa in English.

Is there any flower/plant relation to her name? Hard mode: no racebait

All Pokémon characters are named after plants, roots, trees and flowers you airhead. It's just that they're rarely done outside of Japan.

Yes, because it's an oversimplification of her Japanese name.

Spirulina. Japanese pronunciation is supiRURINA

Naming conventions of Pokémon games have always been plants, localization just doesn't necessarily adhere to it all the time.

She's named after the cupid's dart flower in most languages. So the answer is yes, except in English.
