This Surah is named Al-Fatihah because of its subject matter. Fatihah is that which opens a subject or a book or any other thing. In other words, Al-Fatihah is a sort of preface.
In the name of Allāh, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

[All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds -

The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
٣
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.
٤
It is You we worship and You we ask for help.
٥
Guide us to the straight path -

The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
