About Fatoumata

Go back to names list

Fatoumata is the Swahili version of the name Fatima, which is an Arabic name meaning “chaste”. It is the name of a daughter of the prophet Muhammad. It is also found used in Christianity where ‘our Lady of Fatima’ is sometimes used to refer to the Virgin Mary. This adds to claims that it means ‘chaste’, however Fatima was the only daughter of Muhammad to have children so this is debatable.
