Fiametta is Italian in Origin.

Fiametta is an Italian feminine name formed from fiamma, "flame," plus the affectionate diminutive -etta, giving the vivid meaning "little flame." It symbolizes warmth, vitality, and creative spark. The single-t spelling is a streamlined variant of the standard Italian Fiammetta, which remains more common in Italy.

The name found literary stature through Giovanni Boccaccio, who used Fiammetta for his muse and heroine in works such as the Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta and the Decameron, helping embed it in late medieval and Renaissance Florentine culture. Usage has stayed uncommon outside Italy, with periodic revivals as a chic, vintage choice in the 19th and 20th centuries and modest contemporary appeal among the Italian diaspora. Variants and short forms include Fiammetta, Fiamma, Fiama, Etta, and Metta. Related: Fiamma as a standalone; very rarely, dialectal spellings appear.
