Ugne is Lithuanian in Origin.

Ugnė (often rendered Ugne in English contexts) is a Lithuanian feminine name from the common noun ugnis, “fire.” It carries meanings of flame, ardor, vitality, and the warmth of the hearth, aligning it culturally with the Baltic tradition that venerates the household fire (cf. the goddess Gabija).

Recorded as a given name in the 20th century and embraced during the Lithuanian national revival, it saw marked rise in use after independence and has ranked among the country’s most popular girls’ names in the 2000s–2010s, with steady presence today at home and in the diaspora. Variants include the standard Lithuanian spelling Ugnė and the diacritic-free Ugne found abroad; affectionate forms such as Ugnelė appear in informal use. There is no established masculine counterpart, though semantically similar Slavic names Ognen/Ognjena share the “fiery” sense without being direct variants.
