Fiammetta Origin and Meaning

The name Fiammetta is a girl's name of Italian origin meaning "little fiery one".

Fiammetta, from the Italian word for flame, has both femininity and fire. Fiammetta could make a good alternative to more conventional Italian girls' names like Giovanna.

Fiammetta has some romantic, if not fiery, references. It was the pseudonym of Boccaccio's beloved in the Decameron and other works (the subject of a famous Pre-Raphaelit painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti); and another Fiammetta was a famous courtesan and lover of Cesar Borgia. Currently there is a hot Italian cover girl named Fiammetta Cicogna.

It isn't only me who noticed then. It's been on the "top searched on Nameberry today" name cloud since yesterday or longer. I haven't been on the site on my laptop, so I can't see the "searched right now" part, but I can imagine. 😀 X

The name is fine, but typing it in 10.000 times in a row is not cool. It in fact makes me not like it at all!

May 22, 2017: This name is THE TOP of popularity on Nameberry right now. Anyone know why?! (It's GORGEOUS, don't get me wrong, but it is a bit confusing as a more out-there name.)

I first heard this name watching Borgia (the European version of the show not the showtime one), I thought it was so pretty. I also love the painting A vision of Fiammetta by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. I would never have the courage to use it though

I think this is such a pretty and romantic name...but I really love that pop of spunk the fire meaning gives.
