Names That Mean Fire
Fire has always stood for passion, courage, transformation and the spark of life itself — the warmth of the hearth and the blaze of the spirit. Cultures around the world named their children for it, and the results are some of the boldest, most vivid names there are. Several trace back to the Celtic fire god Aodh, which gives us the ever-popular Aidan, Egan and Keegan; others come straight from words for fire and flame in Sanskrit (Agni), Hawaiian (Keahi), Persian (Azar) and Latin. A few belong to the fire deities and hearth goddesses themselves, from the Roman Vesta to the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele. Fire names suit a child you imagine as spirited, warm and full of energy, and they range from soft (Ember, Fiamma) to fierce (Blaze, Seraphina, “fiery”). Here are real baby names that mean fire, flame or the spark of the hearth, each with its genuine meaning and origin.
