In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish fambre, fanbre, famne (compare Ladino ambre), from Vulgar Latin *faminem (possibly the accusative of a variant nominative form *famen or *famis), from Classical Latin famēs, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰH- (“to disappear”). Compare also Portuguese fome, Galician fame, French faim, dialectal Occitan hame, Italian fame, Sardinian fámine, famen, Romanian foame. Cognate with English famine, famish. Doublet of fame.
