Fatimah comes from the Arabic Fatima, possibly meaning one who abstains or one who weans — interpreted as one who is captivating or distant from worldly cares.

The Fatimah spelling, with the -ah ending, preserves the Arabic form. As an American given name, Fatimah peaked in 2020 alongside the broader American embrace of Arabic-rooted feminine names.
