As-Salaam alaykum, We Muslims have always had high regards for Lady Fatima, may Allah be pleased with her, the daughter of the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. She is one of the 4 women to have reached perfection in Islam [achieved best and highest moral and practical examples among women], the other 3 being her mother, Sayyada Khadijah, Maryam and Asiya... may Allah be pleased with them all.
Imam Sadiq, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that "Fatima has 9 heavenly names:- Fatima, Siddiqah, Mubarakah, Tahera, Zakkiyyah, Raaziyah, Marziyyah, Muhaddathah and Zahrah. He then said, Do you know what the name FATAIMA means? It means, She is separated from all evil." [Shaykh Sadiq, 1408 A.H vol. 18, pg. 13].
So, Fatima was/is given that name because she is pure of all things evil and indecent and is the epitome of all good things and beautiful. Sayyada Fatima, may Allah be pleased with her, is reported to have said that she loved 3 things in this world:-- "To spend in the Way of Allah; Recitation of the Book of Allah and Gazing at the face of my father, the Prophet of Allah." [Sheikh al-Islami, 1419 A.H Hadith 93].
