Fatima is one of my favourite characters.

Fatima's people - the Phernians - are classified as terran aquasapians, meaning they originate on Earth but are aquatic homo-sapiens. They were created by the Mer of Atlantis... back in the 14th they were originally shipwrecked Arabic sailors and passengers abducted by the Mer and transformed into half-human/half-octopus using magic/science into cephalomen and cephalomaids and put to work as servants (slaves) of the Mer. Around the 18th century the Phernians revolted and left Mer to start their own underwater kingdom. All this isn't stuff I just made up two minutes ago but part of the fairly elaborate backstory for Fatima I've had since inception but never had the chance to explore... but anyway, to answer your question Fatima's name derives from that Arabic heritage.

Fatima? Is she from the Red Sea, or something?

Aaaw - she could give affectionate hugs to the whole dorm. At once!
