Lotaire is Germanic in Origin.
Lotaire is a French-leaning variant of Lothaire/Lothair, ultimately from the continental Germanic name Hlothar (Chlothar), composed of hlūd “famous” + hari “army,” giving the meaning “renowned warrior” or “famous army.” The name was carried by powerful Frankish rulers - Clotaire I and II among the Merovingians, and Lothair I, Holy Roman Emperor - embedding it in European political history; the medieval kingdom of Lotharingia, ancestral to Lorraine, takes its name from Lothair.
Attested forms include Lothaire (French), Lothair (English), Lothar (German), Clotaire/Clothaire (French), Lotario (Italian and Spanish), Lotário (Portuguese), and Lotar/Lotár in Slavic and Hungarian contexts; Latinized Lotharius or Chlotharius also appear. Lotaire itself remains rare today, surfacing mainly in France, Belgium, and francophone Africa, with occasional revival under medieval chic. It bears a dignified, martial aura while staying distinctive among contemporary choices.
Lotaire is extremely rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
