Fatima Forename Meaning
User-submitted Reference
Fatıma [pronounced as: [faːtˤɪmaː]] (Arabic: فَاطِمَة, Fāṭimah) is a female given name of Arabic origin used throughout the Muslim world. Several relatives of the Islamic prophet Muhammad had the name, including his daughter Fatima as the most famous one.
The colloquial Arabic pronunciation of the name in some dialects (e.g., Syrian and Egyptian) often omits the unstressed second syllable and renders it as Fatma when romanized. Coincidentally, this is also the usual Turkish and Azerbaijani form of the name (another variant, Fadime, is less common). In Persian, the name is rendered as Fatemeh in the Iranian dialect, Fatima in Afghan dialect and Fotima (Фотима) in Tajik.
Fatima is also used by non-Muslims: the town of Fátima, Portugal was named after a Moorish princess. It was the site of a famous Marian apparition in 1917, after which it achieved some popularity as a female personal name among Roman Catholic populations, particularly in the Portuguese-speaking and Spanish-speaking worlds.
