Loti is in Origin.
Loti is most widely seen as an international short form of Lottie/Lotti and thus of Charlotte, the French feminine of Charles; the Germanic root carries the sense "free person." Spelled with a single t, Loti appears in several languages as a streamlined, modern choice. The name also has a literary link to the French novelist Pierre Loti (1850-1923), whose pen name helped publicize the form in France and in French Polynesia.
Occasionally, Loti functions as a pet name for South Asian Lotika/Latika, from Sanskrit latika "small vine, creeper," adding a botanical nuance. Variants and cognates include Lottie, Lotti, Lotte, Lotty, Loty, Lota, Lotika, and Latika; related forms Charlotte, Carlota, and Carlotta sit in the same family. Usage remains uncommon in contemporary statistics, while Lotti/Lottie have seen vintage-style revivals in Britain, Germany, and Scandinavia. With its crisp two syllables and cross-cultural echoes, Loti feels both airy and anchored.
