Hazard to guess, not knowing where you acquired it. Looks a bit like Rhapidophyllum.

If they came from @NatureGirl then it probably isn't a Rhopie...they don't grow in FL.  I'm not sure what to guess on it.  Maybe Allagoptera Arenaria?

Definitely not Rhopalostylis. I get volunteer ones by the dozens and they look very different.  They start out with bifid leaves like in the photo below.

With the small teeth on the sides of the fronds, maybe it is a Copernicia?  It looks a lot like Meg's seedlings here:
