Ask an Italian as it means "brave" as they wanted to give it an Italian name so it may need an accent.

Not to be petty but Fiero actually means "Proud" in Italian

Fiero translation Italian > English *

but the rest is right on the money

*From the Oxford Unabridged Italian > English dictionary

From the same page:

Additional Translations/Traduzioni aggiuntive:

fiero (crudele) adj fierce (violent)


I'll take that definition over "Proud" Thank you very much .

lol, that struck me as really funny this morning.
I personal say it as Fee-air-oh, but I have heard some one say Fer-are-oh. I am guessing a mixture of Fiero and Ferrari.

I have one. It always strikes me as very odd to hear it referred to as a ZEE 28, especially when the only item I'm familiar with which is normally called ZEE is...

How do you pronouce the word Fiero? With a slurred speach, a glock in one hand, and a knife in the other.
