All my books say it comes from the Latin word "flamen", a Roman priest devoted to the service of a particular pagan God.

P.S.: my "verify" code for this message is WTF... :-)

Ah, okay... so the sites I looked at weren't wrong, just too vague. :) Thank you for the response!

By the way, I'd like to add both names to Submitted Names. I can give you credit if you like, since you were the one who supplied me with info.

That's a good idea! Feel free to add it. I can give you my sources, in case you need them.
If you want, you can give me credit (I'm not very familiar with the procedure), but that's not a problem at all. :-)

What ticks me off is that tons of people submit names without any information. (There's a lot of joke names in there, too). Sure, sources would be great, but don't go crazy if you have to go looking for stuff.

I don't think there's any procedure or anything, I just like to put a little note or a thank you to anyone who's helped me out (I'll do this for anything on the Internet). Since I didn't have any information until you responded, I don't think it'd be fair to take all the credit for submitting the name. :)

Ok, my sources are mainly Italian books (in Italy the name Flaminio/a is still used). The most autoritative ones are:
1) Dizionario dei nomi di persona. - Emidio de Felice
2) I nomi di persona in Italia. Dizionazio storico ed etimologico. - Alda Rossebastiano, Elena Papa
3) Origine e storia dei nomi di persona. - Carlo Tagliavini
4) Origine e significato dei nomi di persona. - Ignazio Maria Ceccherelli
