Otilie is in Origin.

Otilie is a Central European form of Ottilie, the feminine of Otto, from Old High German od/ot meaning “wealth, fortune.” It likely passed through medieval Odilia/Ottilia before settling into regional spellings; Czech favors Otilie and Otýlie, while related forms include Otilia (Romanian, Portuguese), Otylia (Polish), Odilia/Odilie (French, German), Ottilie (German, English), and Ottilia (Swedish/Scandinavian). The name carries the sense of prosperity and good fortune.

Usage traces to the Middle Ages via the cult of Saint Odile (also called Ottilia) of Alsace, which spread the name around the Upper Rhine. A later literary boost came from Goethe’s Elective Affinities, whose heroine Ottilie influenced 19th‑century tastes in German‑ and English‑speaking circles. In the Czech lands Otilie peaked around the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is now uncommon but poised for revival. Nicknames include Oti, Tili/Tillie, and, regionally, Otylka.
