Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₁n̥gʷnís (“fire”). The exact phonological development of this term is slightly unclear. De Vaan suggests that Proto-Indo-European *h₁n̥gʷnís yielded *Həngni-, whence *engni- or *ingni-, which dissimilated into *egni- or *igni-. This term constitutes an issue for the Latin sound law *CCCC > CaCCC, leading Schrijver to argue that *h₁ must have lost phonemic status by the time of epenthesis. Thus, Schrijver ultimately suggests a development *h₁n̥gʷni- > *h₁əngʷni- > *əngʷni- > ignis.
Cognate with Lithuanian ugnis, Sanskrit अग्नि (agní), Hittite 𒀀𒀝𒉌𒅖 (akniš) (an Indo-Iranian borrowing), Old Church Slavonic огнь (ognĭ) and Old Prussian ugnis.
