What is the meaning of the name Otilia ?

The baby name Otilia is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced EN: /oʊˈtɪliə/ (oh-TIL-ee-uh); ES/RO: /oˈtilja/ (o-TEE-lya).

Otilia is Romanian in Origin.

Otilia is the Romance and East-Central European form of a Germanic name derived from the element od meaning “wealth, fortune,” and by extension “prosperity.” It corresponds to medieval Odilia/Ottilia and the later French Odile; in English and German, the common cognate is Ottilie. The root appears in many Old High German names, and Otilia preserves the softer Romance phonetics while keeping the core meaning.

Carried across Europe by devotion to Saint Odilia (Sainte Odile) of Alsace, venerated since the early Middle Ages, the name remained in steady use in German-speaking lands and saw particular favor in Romania, Hungary, and Iberia. In Spanish and Romanian, Otilia is standard; Portuguese uses Otília; Polish has Otylia; Hungarian Ottília; Scandinavian and Germanic forms include Ottilia and Ottilie. Diminutives and nicknames include Oti, Tili/Tilly, and Lili. Contemporary revivals of vintage forms like Ottilie have renewed wider interest in Otilia.
