- Meanings and history of the name Fatima
Many people using the name Fatima today are probably connecting it more with Our Lady of Fatima rather than its Arabic roots. Between May 13 and October 13 1917, the Blessed Mother appeared six times to 3 shepard children, Lucia, Fransisco and Jacinta, in the small town of Fatima, Portugal. Fransisco and Jacinta died in 1919 and 1920, and have been beatified. Sister Lucia died recently and the process for her beatification is underway.
