About Lothario
Lothario is a masculine name derived from a character in Nicholas Rowe's 1703 play 'The Fair Penitent.' The character was so notably seductive and promiscuous that 'lothario' entered the English language as a term for a man who habitually seduces women. The name itself has older Germanic origins, stemming from the name Lothar, which combines elements meaning 'famous' and 'warrior.' Despite its negative connotations in English, Lothario has a melodious Italian-Spanish sound that some find appealing. It remains quite rare as a given name in most English-speaking countries, likely due to its association with womanizing. For those who choose it, the name carries a dramatic, literary quality with a hint of romantic charm.
Pronounced lo-THAR-ee-o.
As of October 2026, Lothario ranked #3775 in US births in 1965 SSA.
