Ottie Origin and Meaning
Ottie is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may function as a diminutive of names containing the Germanic element "ot" meaning wealth or fortune, such as Ottilie, Ottoline, or Charlotte. Alternatively, it could be a variation of Ottilia, derived from the Germanic name element "ot" or "od" meaning "wealth" or "prosperity." In some contexts, Ottie might serve as a nickname for Otto in masculine usage. The name has a charming, vintage quality consistent with the revival of short, sweet names from the early 20th century.
