Meaning and origin of Fadumo
Fadumo is the Somali version of Fāṭima. Somali reshaped the Arabic sounds to fit its own patterns: the ṭ became a 'd', and the ending changed to '-o', just as in other Somali women's names such as Caasho for Aisha and Khadiijo for Khadija. The root means to wean. Like every form of Fatima, it honours Fāṭima al-Zahrāʾ, the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ daughter.
