Yes. Your ceiling can support a ceiling fan provided that it has the necessary bracing so that it can support the extra weight of a ceiling fan. Remember that a ceiling fan weighs more than a lighting fixture, so it needs a strong mounting point.
Furthermore, it has vibration and other movement, which further add to the weight of the fan. So besides the necessary bracing on your ceiling, the locking parts of the fan must also be properly installed and secured.
You may consult an electrician or a home center representative regarding with these matters.
