Fire names for boys have a hidden flame and fierceness. They’re strong without always being overly masculine and come from all corners of the globe, making finding the perfect fit for your son easier. Fire is a great association to have in a name, as it symbolizes inspiration, energy, and passion — all positives. We have an extended list to explore, but we also have some standouts for you here.

Fire names for boys may seem rare, but many are popular today. This includes the ultra-popular Aiden, meaning “little fire.” He has many alternative spellings that boost his popularity further, including  Ayden, Aidan, Adan, Aden, Aydan, Aydin, Aidyn, Adin, Aedan, and Adon. Yes, there really are that many spellings (and likely some we missed!) If we add up just those appearing within the 2021 Top 1000 U.S. Boy Names, there were over 13,353 little ones born with the name. This is enough to land it within the Top 10 at #4 after surpassing the current #4 name, Elijah. What a difference in popularity! Another popular choice is Brantley. Meaning “fire,” he’s English in origin. Sharing his roots is Tyson, a strong moniker meaning “firebrand.”

Rare fire names for boys are also available in abundance. Hailing from Japan is Kasai. Meaning “fire,” he’s similar to the more popular Kai. Aiden alternatives are possible, too, with “the fiery one” Edan and cute “fire” Egan. For a more classic choice, see Ignatius. Latin in origin, his Iggy nickname is adorable. He has several variants, including the German Ignatz, Italian Ignazio, and Spanish/Portuguese Ignacio.

Another option is to seek fire-related meanings to land cool fire names for boys. The “candle maker” Chandler is a clever choice, as is the German Brendis, meaning “flame.” These names can also lean religious, like Uriel‘s “God is my light,” or connect to you personally, like Uri‘s “my light.” You can even travel around the globe with the Polynesian Keahi‘s “flames” or the Irish Keagan, meaning “small flame.”
