Fatima
- /ˈfɑ.ti.mə/
Where it comes from
From Arabic فَاطِمَة (fāṭima).
The name Fatima is from the Arabic root f-t-m (lit. 'to wean') and signifies the Shia belief that she, her progeny, and her adherents (Shi'a) have been spared from hellfire. Alternatively, the word Fatima is associated in Shia sources with Fatir (lit. 'creator', a name of God) as the earthly symbol of the divine creative power.
proper noun
- A daughter of the prophet Muhammad, the wife of Ali.
- A female given name from Arabic, of Muslim and Catholic usage, in the latter case in honor of Our Lady of Fátima.
