Etymology

From Средњи Енглески flawme, blend of Стари Француски flame and flambe, flamble, the first from Латински flamma, the second from Латински flammula, diminutive of flamma, both from pre-Latin *fladma; Proto-Italic *flagmā, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to shimmer, gleam, shine”). Displaced native Стари Енглески līeġ.
