All the cliches are true: the second any parent lays eyes on their newborn baby, their thoughts probably go to how their child is going to set the world on fire with their energy, charisma and passion. As the years go by, you may refer to your little one as a firecracker because of their witty and spunky personality, or you may be taken aback (in the best way possible) by how their infectious personality catches onto any room like a flame. Baby names that mean ‘fire’ are a surefire way (see what we did there?) to give your little one a name as unique as they are.

Perhaps you or your partner have taken on a life of service as a firefighter, and are heavily inspired by the word fire, or maybe it’s a word with a different personal meaning that ignites your spirit. The word fire can stand for a lot of things, including warmth, light and excitement. Maybe you see your child as the flame that will continue to carry on your family’s legacy. Whatever your reason is, if you’re looking for baby names that mean fire then you’ve come to the right place.
