Shatima is a unique and captivating name of African origin, particularly from the Swahili culture. It translates to 'peace' in English, signifying harmony and tranquility. The name consists of three distinct syllables, 'Sha-ti-ma', which gives it a rhythmic and melodic quality when spoken aloud. Shatima is often chosen by parents who wish to give their child a distinctive identity, as it is not widely used in many parts of the world.
"The name Shatima was quite popular during the late 70s to mid-90s, with peaks in popularity around 1984 and 1987. However, it seems to have declined since then, as there were no recorded births after 1999."
