Fatum (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfaː.tʏm]; West Frisian: Fâtum or Fâltum) is a hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland. It is located northwest of Spannum and southwest of Tzum, of which it is a part administratively. The residences are located on the Wommelserweg between the hamlets De Kampen and Teetlum. In the hamlet is a windmill with the same name.
Fatum originated on a terp over which the Wommelserweg runs. In 1433 it was first mentioned in a copy as Faltma, in 1457 as Faltum, in 1511 as Fautum and in 1718 as Faldum and Faatum.[3] In the 19th century the last two also occur in addition to Fatum.
The place name probably points to the fact that it was the residence (-heem/-um) of or founded by the person Falda or Falte.[3] It is sometimes also thought that the name refers to a place of residence near a fenced sheepfold or milking parlor (fald).[4]
