Names relating to fire
- Seraphina

- Ember
Origin:
Word nameMeaning:
"ember, glowing coal or wood"Description:
A warm and contemporary choice, Ember refers to the still-glowing parts of a fire once much of it has gone out. As such, some of its appeal lies in its associations with hope, rekindling, and light in the dark.
- Ignatius
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"fiery"Description:

- Aidan
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"little and fiery"Description:
Aidan was originally a pet form of the Irish name Aodh (pronounced 'ee'), the name of the old Celtic god of the sun and fire. The name was borne by numerous early Irish saints, one of whom was noted for his kindness and generosity.
- Sera
Origin:
Hebrew, variation of SarahMeaning:
"princess"Description:
Sera is a truly international variation heard in Hebrew-speaking, Spanish and Italian cultures. Sera can also spelled Serah. Sera might also be a short form of Seraphina.
- Fintan
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"white fire or white bull"Description:
Fintan is an ancient Irish saints' name that in legend is also the name of the only person to survive The Flood. Popular in modern Ireland, Fintan is ripe for export to the US where it is rarely used but could make an excellent long form for the stylish Finn.
- Blaze
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"fire"Description:
Originally a form of the saint's name Blaise, though now more likely to be a hot word name used for both sexes, though heavily weighted toward the boys. It has been in the boys' Top 1000 since the year 2000. On the pop culture side of things, Blaze Bayley is a singer and musician who has been connected to the bands Wolfsbane and Iron Maiden.
- Serafina
Origin:
Italian and Spanish variation of SeraphinaMeaning:
"ardent"Description:
Serafina is a name so lovely it's worthy of an angel. But the more stylish spelling today is Seraphina.
- Edan
Origin:
Irish and HebrewMeaning:
"little fire; era"Description:
This cross-cultural name is a spelling variant of two different popular names: the Irish Aidan and the Hebrew Idan. While Idan is a Top 100 choice in Israel, Aidan - and Aiden - in a number of English speaking countries. Pleasingly simple and concise, Edan may however be mistaken for Eden.
- Aodh
Origin:
GaelicMeaning:
"fire"Description:
Aodh, the name of the Celtic sun god meaning "fire", was common in early Scotland. It's also the origin of the wildly popular Irish name Aidan (originally Aodhán). Its pronunciation varies depending on region: AY or EE are Irish pronunciations, and in Scotland it's closer to UH, and has been Anglicized as Hugh.
- Tanwen
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"holy fire"Description:
Tanwen is a far more singular and colorful alternative to Bronwen.
- Serafin
Origin:
Spanish variation of Seraphim, HebrewMeaning:
"fiery"Description:
Serafin and Seraphim are much less known and used in the US than the feminine forms Serafina and Seraphina, but just as appealing. An out-of-the-box Spanish option with a deep history and an animated meaning.
- Fiammetta
Origin:
ItalianMeaning:
"little fiery one"Description:
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.
- Conley
Origin:
Anglicization of Conleth, IrishMeaning:
"chaste fire; constant fire"Description:
Conley has a contemporary surname feel but is actually vintage in its usage. It was used as a masculine given name through the 1940s and peaked in 1905 at Number 709. Ready for revival? Definitely.
- Séraphine
Description:
Séraphine is a feminine French name derived from the Hebrew word "seraphim," referring to a celestial being or a type of angel described in Biblical texts. The name carries powerful religious connotations of purity, devotion, and heavenly connection. With its French spelling and accent mark, Séraphine possesses an elegant, artistic quality. While never extremely common, the name has experienced periodic interest in France and French-speaking regions. It gained some international attention through French painter Séraphine Louis. The name combines spiritual depth with a delicate, melodious sound. For parents seeking a name with religious significance wrapped in French sophistication, Séraphine offers a distinctive choice that balances the ethereal with cultural heritage.
- Flame
Origin:
Word nameDescription:
There are many fire-related names, from Aidan to Fiammetta, but the Flame isn't one that's often found on birth certificates. It's a highly symbolic word: flames can represent faith, passion and cleansing, for example, as well as straightforward heat and light.

RussianMeaning:
"fiery"Description:
Russian form of Seraphim

Spanish variation of Serafina, HebrewDescription:
