About Othmar
Othmar is a masculine name of Germanic origin with ancient roots. Derived from the Old High German elements 'ōt' meaning 'wealth, fortune, possession' and 'mari' meaning 'famous,' the name essentially translates to 'famous for wealth' or 'renowned for prosperity.' Othmar carries historical significance through Saint Othmar, an 8th-century Swiss monk who founded the Abbey of St. Gall. The name has maintained modest popularity in German-speaking regions, particularly in Switzerland, Austria, and parts of Germany. With its strong consonants and distinctive sound, Othmar conveys a sense of traditional masculinity and historical depth. Though uncommon in English-speaking countries, it offers a distinctive option for parents seeking a name with European heritage and historical resonance without being completely unfamiliar.
Pronounced OTH-mar.
As of October 2026, Othmar ranked #2590 in US births in 1932 SSA, peaked at #1682 in 1916.
