[Facts] the name Fatimah
Does anyone know the actual meaning of the girl’s name Fatimah? I believe it is Arabic. Sources online mostly say it means ‘Daughter of Prophet’ but in Arabic this should be something more like ‘Bint Al Nabi’, I think there is confusion because Fatimah was probably the name of a daughter of a Prophet. Does anyone know the original meaning/etymology?

In the blue bar at the top of this screen, you'll see a white space and a magnifying glass. Enter any name there and click on the magnifying glass; you will be taken to the entry on this site for that name. Unlike many naming sites, this one is pretty well always accurate.
It means "to abstain".
