The word “fado” comes from the Latin “fatum”, that is, “destination”, it is the same word that gave rise to the words “fada”, “fadario”, and the expression “to run the fado”. A popular explanation for the origin of Lisbon’s fado refers to the chants of the Moors, who remained in the neighbourhood in the Mouraria neighbourhood, in the city of Lisbon after the Christian reconquest. Sorrow and melancholy, so common in Fado, would have been inherited from those corners. However, such an explanation is naive from an ethnomusicological perspective.
