Looking for a name that burns as brightly as your son? Check out boy names that mean fire. Crackling with fiery meanings, these molten monikers range from scorching-hot choices on the charts to ultra-rare names you’ve probably never heard. Get ready to meet these sizzling picks.
Baby boy names that mean fire aren’t numerous, but some are enjoying super popularity on today’s name charts. You likely know Aiden, the Irish name meaning “little fire.” He has many other variants joining him on the top name charts, including Aidan, Ayden, and Aden. This team of spellings makes him much more common than you’d think. In 2022, Aiden was given to 8252 boys and ranked at #26, Ayden was given to 2618 boys and ranked at #143, Aidan ranked at #286 and was given to 1195 boys, and Aden checked in at #681 and was given to 386 boys. Together, that’s a whopping 12,451 little boys with a version of the name. That’s more than the #5 boy’s name, James! Another popular name meaning fire is Brantley. An English pick, he feels upscale yet still has a boyish air to him. There’s also the tough Tyson, meaning “firebrand.”
Most boy names meaning fire are rare in the U.S. Many come from the names of ancient gods or are tied to words we don’t use often in the States. One rare gem we adore is Ignatius, a name from the Latin word “ignire,” which means “to set on fire.” Ignatius has never been very common in America, but he did have a heyday in the early 1900s when he rose into the 500s on the charts. He has some seriously cute nicknames, including Nate and Iggy. Egan is another unique boy name meaning fire. Hailing from Ireland, this strong pick fits in well with today’s most popular names.
You can find plenty of boy names with fire-related meanings if you don’t need the meaning to be “fire” exactly. Ember is a word name wow linked to a fire’s embers. Idris is a Welsh find we’re wild about. Meaning “fiery leader,” he’s not too common, but he has seen recent a bump in popularity, probably due to English actor Idris Elba. Pele is connected to a Hawaiian goddess of fire, while Vulcan was the Roman god of crafting fire.
We hope one of these red-hot boy names that mean fire caught your eye.
