What People Usually Mean by This Name
From the Arabic root ف-ت-ح (to open, to conquer, to grant clear victory), Fatih is the classical active participle: the Conqueror, the Opener, the one who breaks through what was closed. Al-Fattah (the Opener) is one of the divine names.
The name is honoured above all in Sultan Mehmed II (r. 1444 to 1446 and 1451 to 1481), called Fatih Sultan Mehmed for his conquest of Constantinople on 29 May 1453. The Prophet ﷺ had said of that conquest: 'Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful commander is her commander, and what a wonderful army is that army.' Mehmed's fulfilment of the prophetic hadith made Fatih a Turkish name of the highest honour.
Fatih is widely used across Turkey. It asks that a son grow into a life that opens what needs opening for his community.
