Natsu is well-known in the country of Fiore - at least he was in X984. In the very first episode/chapter Bora is using Natsu's fame as the "Salamander" to lure all the girls in Hargeon to his party. He also used his love charm and wits, but the name is what drew a crowd to him, including Lucy. During Phantom Lord arc, Jose Porla mentions that names such as Erza, Laxus, Mystogan, Gildarts and Salamander have spread throughout the Fiore. Natsu is the only non-S Class Mage among them, so he must be very well-known to still have been mentioned by Jose.
