History and Origin
Fatima (Arabic: فَاطِمَة , Fāṭimah) is a female given name of Arabic origin, commonly used all over the Islamic world, especially among Shias. The colloquial Arabic pronunciation of the name often omits the unstressed second syllable and renders it as Fatma when romanized.
Fatima is also used by non-Muslims: the town of Fátima in 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.
The surname Mǎ (T: 馬; S: 马) is a common family name for Chinese Muslims, and is sometimes said to derive from the name Fatima.
Usually a Muslim name, given in honour of Muhammad's daughter. However, it is occasionally borne by Roman Catholics in honour of ‘Our Lady of Fatima’, who in 1917 appeared to three shepherd children from the village of Fatima, near Leiria in western Portugal.
