Lottie Origin and Meaning

The name Lottie is a girl's name of English origin meaning "free man".

Lottie is a nostalgic great-grandma name that conjures up lockets and lace, and — like Nellie, Josie, Hattie, Tillie, and Milly — has considerable vintage charm.

A Top 100 name at the end of the nineteenth century, Lottie fell off the popularity list around 1960 but is now climbing back both as a nickname for popular Charlotte, as well as on its own.

Lottie re-entered the US charts for the first time since the '50s in 2022 and is likely going to keep climbing. It's already an amazing Number 52 in England and Wales.

There are several Charlottes who go by Lottie in kids' lit, in particular in The Little Princess and the film The Princess and the Frog.

Similar feel: Lettie.
