Never mind Phatima. I am sorry that I said that. Your name is a very Mubarak name as Bibi Fatima is the most loved one by Rasoolullah. On the day of judgement, it will be anounced that all the people should lower their gaze (eyes) as Fatima bint-e' Muhammed is coming. She is also the Chief of all the women of Jannah. Its a beautiful name
Re: Respecting one’s own name
Yes I know who I was named after but I want to know what my name MEANS! 
Re: Respecting one’s own name
Jee haan Pir sahib, is umar main to bus murghiyaan ghairaa karain
Re: Respecting one's own name
Anil is also an arabic word. It means indigo plant. Although the main source was sanskrit. Anil means blue, or blue dye or plant from where you extract the dye. Although the name has no magistic meaning but it is not a non-islamic name per defination
Jazaak Allah for the arabic source Khan bhai!
much appreciated.
Re: Respecting one’s own name
It seems it does not have any other meaning apart from being daughter of the prophet Mohammad.
Re: Respecting one's own name
well then where did Rasool-e-Pak get the name from? And where did the name Muhammad come from? What does it mean?

Re: Respecting one's own name
^ Just be happy that you have one of the purist names of all; you're named after Khatoon-e-Janat, mashAllah.
exact defination is irrelevant, no?
Re: Respecting one's own name
another wonderful thread, STP.
the given name has a sanctity attached to itself.
when people are able to live up to their names, it is a humbling and pride worthy thing to note, especially since Muslim male and female names are religiously and historically influenced and due to that have become so popular or common.
some people may not like their own names or do not nearly live up to the meaning of their names. they may benefit from learing more about the roots of their names.
it is true and logical that one's name has a lot of symbolic significance related to the person, which is why it is always a joy for a niece of a nehpew to recommend names.
people should carefully choose their kids' names. because it established their identity as a specific person/individual.
best,
Dushwari
Re: Respecting one’s own name
The meaning of the name Fatima ,Daughter Of The Prophet , cudnt be true as we have had many fatimaas in this world and not all of them were prophet’s daughters. And there is a town in Portugal, known as Fatima , an important Christian pilgrimage center. Our Lady of Fatima is a title given to Hazrat Mariam by christains .
Then we have Fatimah bint Omar (Arabic: فاطمة بنت عمر) (d. 576) . who was Hazrat Muhammad’s grandmother. She was married to Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim. then we have Fatima bint Hizam al-Kilabiyya, commonly known as Ummul Banin (“mother of several sons”), married Ali ibn Abi Talib (R.A) after the death of his first wife Fatima bint Muhammad . .
Btw if its Fatima Zahra then it means Fatima the gracious.
