Fiama is Italian in Origin.

Fiama is a rare feminine given name with Romance roots, most often explained as a streamlined variant of Italian Fiamma, meaning “flame,” ultimately from Latin flamma. The image of fire lends meanings such as ardor, vitality, and illumination. While scarcely recorded in historical parish registers, the name gained visibility in the Lusophone world through the acclaimed Portuguese poet Fiama Hasse Pais Brandão (1938–2007), anchoring it in contemporary Portuguese usage alongside Italian influence.

Variants and related forms include Fiamma (Italian), Fiammetta (Italian diminutive), Flamma (Latin), and Flama (poetic Portuguese/Spanish). Short forms may be Fia or Fiam. Modern bearers often choose Fiama for its concise, lyrical sound and symbolic warmth rather than deep traditional frequency. Usage remains uncommon across Europe and the Americas, but the name fits current trends favoring brief, vowel-rich names with evocative meanings.
