Lot is Hebrew in Origin.
Lot is the English and international form of the biblical Hebrew name Loṭ (לוֹט), borne by Abraham’s nephew in Genesis, associated with the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The etymology is uncertain, but many scholars connect it with the Hebrew verb lut "to wrap, enclose," yielding the sense "covering," "veil," or "hidden one." In Jewish and Christian scripture the name marks a patriarchal figure; in the Qur’an his counterpart is the prophet Lūṭ.
In the West the name has been recorded since medieval times but has always been rare; it appeared occasionally among Puritans and in Arthurian tradition as King Lot (etymology there may be distinct). Transliterated variants include Lot (Latin), Lōt (Greek Λωτ), and Lūṭ (Arabic لوط). Related spellings found in Europe include Loth and Lott. In Dutch usage, Lot also functions as a modern, often-feminine short form of Charlotte or Lotte, giving the name a contemporary unisex profile.
