The baby name Fatme is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced FAT-meh (IPA: /ˈfatme/).
Fatme is Arabic in Origin.
Fatme is a Balkan and Turkish-influenced feminine given name, a regional variant of Fatima/Fatimah from Arabic Fāṭimah. It derives from the Semitic root f-ṭ-m meaning “to wean, to abstain,” conveying ideas of self-restraint and maturity. The name is esteemed through Fatimah al-Zahra, daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, whose exemplary status anchored its use throughout the Islamic world.
The form Fatme is most common in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and parts of Bosnia, Kosovo, and Turkey, reflecting Ottoman-era transmission and local phonology; Albanian also has Fatime, while Turkish standard is Fatma. Other variants include Fatima (international), Fátima (Portuguese/Spanish), Fatimah (Classical Arabic), Fatemeh/Fateme (Persian), Fadma (Tamazight), and diminutives such as Fati, Tima, and Timka. Usage remains strong in Muslim communities and Balkan diasporas, with Fatme signaling regional heritage.
