Fatime as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Fatime

What is the meaning of the name Fatime ?

The baby name Fatime is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /faˈti.me/ (fa-TEE-meh).

Fatime is Arabic, Bosnian in Origin.

Fatime is the Albanian and Balkan form of the Arabic name Fāṭimah (فاطمة), from the Semitic root f-ṭ-m “to wean.” It is typically interpreted as “she who weans” or “one who abstains,” and carries connotations of purity and self-restraint. The name owes much of its prestige to Fatimah al‑Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, whose venerated status made variants of the name widespread across the Islamic world.

Used chiefly among Albanian-speaking communities in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and the diaspora, Fatime also appears in some Turkic and Caucasus contexts. Related forms include Fatimah (Arabic), Fatima and Fátima (Spanish/Portuguese), Fatma (Turkish), Fatemeh/Fateme (Persian), and Azerbaijani Fətimə; West African variants include Fatimata and Fatoumata. The Portuguese pilgrimage town Fátima, site of 1917 Marian apparitions, helped popularize the spelling with accent beyond Muslim contexts. Common nicknames are Fati and Tima.
