I have seen a couple things online about a goddess named Fatima. I am not sure where I would place my request for information others might have of hers. Also why did Mary get the name, Fatima? What does Fatima mean in Catholicism?

If you're taking about "Our Lady of Fatima", that refers to the "appearence" of Mary to a couple of kids in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.

Turned out to be a fraud, of course, but don't tell that to those who believe Mary actually appeared, or the RC Church.

Other than that, it's a common woman's name in some Arabic speaking countries (Mohammed's daughter was named Fatimah), and it was a brand of cigarettes back in the day.

I am unaware of any particular goddess named Fatima, however.
