Lothur is in Origin.

Lothur is a rare modern given name likely shaped by the Germanic Lothar and by the Old Norse theonym Lóðurr. Lothar goes back to Proto-Germanic elements hlūdaz (“fame, renown”) and harjaz (“army, warrior”), yielding the sense “renowned army” or “famous warrior.” Through Frankish rulers such as Chlothar/Clotaire and medieval use in German-speaking regions, the name spread into forms like Lothair and Lothaire.

As a distinct spelling, Lothur has little historical record and remains uncommon. Parents choosing it can cite cognates and variants including Lothar (German), Lothair/Lothaire (English/French), Clotaire/Chlothar (French/Frankish), and Lotario/Lothario (Italian/Spanish, literary). If read as a variant of Lothar, the meaning is “renowned army; famous warrior.” If instead it nods to Lóðurr/Lodurr, a Norse deity in creation myths, the etymology is debated and the meaning uncertain, though associations with vitality or creative fire are sometimes proposed.
