      German, French

    • Meaning:

      "prosperous in battle"

    • Description:

      Ottilie is trending in the UK, where the pronounced T helps the name sound pretty and delicate, rather like Amelie and Elodie. Ottilie is less popular in the US, where many Americans pronounce it as a near-homonym for "oddly".

    • Meaning:

      "lion of God; sky altar"

  11. Otylia

    • Description:

      Otylia is a feminine name with Slavic origins, particularly popular in Poland. It derives from the Germanic name Odilia, which means 'prosperity' or 'wealth.' Saint Odilia (or Otylia in Polish) was a 7th-century abbess who is venerated as the patron saint of good eyesight and Alsace. The name carries a certain old-world charm with its distinctive sound and spelling. While uncommon in English-speaking countries, Otylia has maintained some popularity in Eastern European nations. The name has a graceful, classical feel with its flowing syllables and unusual letter combination. For parents seeking a name with European heritage that remains relatively unique, Otylia offers both cultural depth and individuality, connecting a child to Slavic traditions while standing apart from more common names.
