What is the meaning of the name Lottie ?

The baby name Lottie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LOT-ee (IPA: /ˈlɒti/; US: /ˈlɑːti/).

Lottie is in Origin.

Lottie is the English diminutive of Charlotte, the French feminine of Charles, from Germanic Karl, meaning “free man,” now understood as “free person.” It also arises as a familiar form of Carlotta/Carlota and aligns with continental short forms like Lotte (German, Dutch, Danish) and Lotta (Swedish, Finnish). While born as a nickname, Lottie has long functioned as an independent given name in English-speaking countries.

In use across the 19th and early 20th centuries in Britain and America, Lottie evokes Victorian and Edwardian style, and has enjoyed a modern revival in the UK and elsewhere. Variant spellings and cognates include Lotty, Lotti, Lotte, Lotta, and Lottie as a short form for Charlotte, Charlotta, Carlotta, and Carlota. The name carries a bright, affectionate tone while retaining the dignified heritage of the Charles/Charlotte family.
