Fiammetta is Italian in Origin.

Fiammetta is an Italian feminine name formed from fiamma (“flame”), ultimately from Latin flamma, with the affectionate -etta suffix. It literally means “little flame,” conveying warmth, vitality, and spirited energy. The name arose in medieval and Renaissance Italy, when diminutives were favored for elegance and intimacy.

It entered literary history through Giovanni Boccaccio, who used Fiammetta both as the beloved in his Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta and as a storyteller in The Decameron, anchoring the name in cultured Florentine circles. Usage has remained uncommon but enduring in Italy and among the Italian diaspora, with periodic revivals. Variants and related forms include Fiamma and the rarer Fiammella; nicknames include Fia and Etta. A masculine analog, Fiammetto, occasionally appears in records. International spellings typically preserve the Italian form.
