In 1517, the village was included in the Ottoman empire with the rest of Palestine, and in the 1596 tax-records it appeared as Yitma, located in the Nahiya of Jabal Qubal of the Liwa of Nablus. The population was 10 households and 2 bachelors, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, a press for olive oil or grape syrup, in addition to occasional revenues and a fixed tax for people of Nablus area; a total of 1,800 akçe.[6] Sherds from the early Ottoman era have also been found here.[3]
In 1838, Edward Robinson noted it as part of Jurat Merda District, south of Nablus.[7][8]
In 1850/1 de Saulcy noted Yatma on his travels in the region,[9] as did Victor Guérin in 1870.[10]
In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of Jamma'in al-Thani, subordinate to Nablus.[11]
In 1882, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine Yetma was described as "A little village, on high ground, with olives round it."[12]

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Yatma had a population of 242 Muslims,[13] increasing in the 1931 census to 325 Muslims, in 64 houses.[14]
In the 1945 statistics the population was 440 Muslims[15] while the total land area was 3,777 dunams, according to an official land and population survey.[16] Of this, 1,214 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 1,741 for cereals,[17] while 44 dunams were classified as built-up areas.[18]

After the 1995 accords, 29% of village land is defined as Area B land, while the remaining 71% is defined as Area C land. Israel has also confiscated village land for Israeli bypass roads.[21]
