The Story of Fatmire
Fatmire is the distinctly Albanian and Kosovar form of the Arabic name Fatima, one of the most revered names in Islam as that of the Prophet Muhammad's beloved daughter.

The Albanian suffix -e gives the name a local feminine softness while preserving its sacred Islamic meaning.
