Meaning & History
Probably derived from Breton flamm meaning "bright, brilliant, agleam, splendid". This was the name of a Breton saint who, through spiritual means, drove a dragon out of Brittany after King Arthur failed to do so through military means. The village of Saint-Efflamm in Brittany is named for him.
