Lottario is Germanic in Origin.

Lottario is an Italianate masculine name, a modern double-t variant of Lotario, itself the Italian and Spanish form of Germanic Lothar (from Old High German Hlothar). The elements trace to Proto-Germanic hludaz "famous, loud" + harjaz "army," yielding the sense "renowned warrior" or "famed army." The name entered Romance languages through medieval Frankish influence and the prestige of Carolingian rulers named Lothair.

While Lottario is uncommon today, its single-t form Lotario appears in Italian records from the Middle Ages and in literature and opera (e.g., Handel's Lotario). Historical bearers include Lotario de' Conti di Segni, later Pope Innocent III, and several Frankish and Italian kings styled Lothair. Variant forms include Lotario (It./Sp.), Lotário (Pt.), Lothar (Ger.), Lothaire (Fr.), and Lothair (Eng.). Related feminine forms are Lothaire (rare) and Lotaria. Nickname possibilities include Lote or Rio.
