Fatima to Freya.
Girl
A family and faith connection. Fatima was the daughter of Muhammad and the wife of Ali. Her place in Muslim history, especially in Shiʿi tradition, gives the name an association you may value for reasons of faith or family.
The word behind Fatima. Fatima comes from the Arabic verb faṭama, “to wean”. The Arabic form Fāṭima belongs to that word family; the name’s historical association is a separate part of its appeal.
Girl
The Old Norse connection. Freya comes from Old Norse Freyja, the name of a goddess in Norse mythology.
Lady. The Old Norse word freyja means “lady.”
