Re: rare hebrew names?
in reply to a message by elf
Patima is almost certainly Fatima, which is Arabic. (You can click the link.) Some peoples cannot pronounce F (my culture comes to mind) and change their pronunciation to P. As far as I know, there's no F in Hebrew, which may be why you have Patima instead of Fatima. (Interestingly enough, there's no P in Arabic.)
