Origin and meaning of Fiammetta
Fiammetta is a delicate Italian diminutive of fiamma, from the Latin flamma, meaning 'little flame': it suggests warmth, liveliness and a fiery spirit. The name was made famous by Giovanni Boccaccio, who gave it to the beloved heroine of several of his works. Distinctly Italian and seldom used abroad, it keeps a literary, Renaissance charm that makes it elegant and instantly recognisable.
