Fatima is a beautiful and unique feminine given name, of Arabic origin. It translates to 'restrained' or 'one who prevents harm', reflecting its profound meanings. Traditionally, Fatima is the name of the youngest daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, revered by Muslims worldwide. However, it has gained widespread popularity beyond religious contexts due to its distinctive charm and phonetics. The name Fatima consists of three syllables, pronounced as /fəˈtiːmə/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), adding to its melodic appeal. It is often spelled variations such as Fathima or Fatimah, but the most common spelling remains Fatima.
"Fatime's popularity peaked between the late 70s and early 90s, with at least five births each year from 1978 to 1990. However, it seems the name regained favor around the late 2000s and early 2010s, as there were six births in each of those years."
