About Ottawa

The capital city of Canada makes an unusual name for a baby, though it was recently used by nutrition and fitness Instagrammer, Kaleigh Kellner. The Canadian city ultimately gets it name from adawe which means "to trade" in the First Nations language of Algonquin.

Yet to appear in the US stats, it does come with the grounding nickname Otto.

Pronounced AH-tah-wah.
