Hello, my name is Fateme. I like my name. This name does not have much religious meaning and literally means "away from the fire". The names Fateme and Fatima are different. This is the name of Drit, which is common in many places, but it is a beautiful name, and many people choose this name for their children.
I do not know why you have such an idea about this name. It is not at all understandable that you say that children with such a name are being abused. Unfortunately, I do not understand that this is not the case at all. I am with this personal name. He judged their names.
I myself am not a religious person but I have a religious name.

My name is Maria Fatima. Fatima in Latin America, Mediterranean countries and Poland is known for being a Christian Catholic name. Someone here said it was of a "muslim princess", I would rather say it belonged to a converted Christian woman of Arabic origin who was very loved in a little town in Portugal that later would be called "Fatima", and it is the same town where our Lady Mary appeared to three little children. I was baptised "Maria de Fatima" (Mary from Fatima). And no one has ever called me "fat" for my name, but some ignorants think that I'm a muslim, even though they see I'm also called Maria. I'm proud to carry this name in honour of my Lady.

Fatima did spread to Portugal and Portuguese-speaking countries through Islamic influence, but it originally came from Arabia. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)'s daughter's name was Fatima and she was around AD 600. Therefore, the true origins of Fatima is Arabic but it is certainly of Portuguese usage.

There was a Fatimid dynasty so called because they claimed they were descended from the Prophet's daughter Fatima. Definitely Arabic, the only reason the Portuguese use the name was because they were ruled for hundreds of years by the Muslims. The Fatimids were rulers of Egypt.

"God named her Fatimah, because He separated and kept her and her lovers (and in another tradition: "her followers") away from fire." It is narrated from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq that, "she was named Fatima because she was kept away from evil."
Imam Sadiq says in a narration: Fatima means someone who is torn off from all evil and ugliness. Imam Reza also quotes the Prophet Muhammed as saying: For this reason, I named my daughter Fatimah because God has kept her and her friends away from the fire of hell.
And there are other names for Fatimah al Zahra too, like Zahra (luminous; radiant), Batul (cut off: ascetic), Zahida (ascetic), Norea (girl of light), Aludra (the chaste), Adara (chaste), Hurra (free), Hawra Insiya (human in nymph form), Shahida (martyred), Siddiqa (truthful), Raqiya (girl who casts incantation) Abeda (girl who worships), Karima (generous) and Jemila (beautiful). 🖤🖤🖤.
