Fatima, or, in a more exact transliteration, Fāţimah (Arabic: فاطمة ), is originally an Arabic name, meaning "She who weans". It is commonly given as a female personal name among Muslims, after Fatima Zahra ("Fatima the gracious"), the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The surname Mǎ (馬), a common family name for Chinese Muslims, is sometimes said to derive from the name Fatima. The Persian transliteration is Fatemeh. Due to Islamic historical and cultural influence, the name is common amongst Spaniards and Portuguese, as well as their cultural descendants in the Americas.

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 Catholics.
