Hearth (Greek: hestia)
Hestia's name comes from the Greek word "hestia," which means hearth or fireplace. She was the goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Greek mythology.
Hestia can not get married because like Artemis and Athena she took a vow to never marry a man. She swore to stay a virgin.
No, Hestia was never married. She is a maiden goddess like Athena and Artemis . That means she's a virgin goddess.
Hestia, blaze, or flame I guess.
Hestia means "hearth" meaning fire place, so yes hearth is occasionally used.

Hestia's epithet was "Hestia Presveira" meaning "Hestia the oldest." This was because she was the eldest of the Olympians.
Hestia is a Greek goddess, that being a girl.
Hestia is Hestia (Ἑστία) in Greek. Hestia is the Greek goddess of the home and hearth. She is also known to Romans as Vesta.
Hestia is at times depicted with a crown in art/sculpture, but no mention of it is made in any myth I know of. Which means nothing, as sometimes things were assumed by writers of what was known for a god/goddess at that time.
