Linked to the Arabic root for weaning, through Fatima.
The exact Fatimata entry explicitly links to Fatima; the Fatima entry gives Arabic f-t-m, to wean. This is a source-word explanation, not a statement about a bearer. Religious interpretations of Fatima are distinct from the literal root and are not collapsed into a personality description.
French spelling of an Arabic-derived name, documented in West African use
The exact French given-name entry traces Fatimata to Arabic Fatima and notes use in Islamic West Africa, including Pulaar Faatimata. This describes a documented linguistic route, not a nationality or religion assigned to every bearer.
Not yet published for this spelling.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2019 | Girls | 6 | 2872 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Girls | 45 (rounded to 5) | 837 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2021 | Girls | 3 | 5581 | Historical source: not all years independently cross-checked. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Girls | 6 | 13208 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
Canada, Ireland and France coverage includes confidently matched existing profiles only; unmatched spellings are awaiting review. French counts are rounded to five.
