Otomar is Czech, Slavic in Origin.
Otomar is a Central European given name, chiefly Czech and Slovak, formed from the Old High German elements ot/od (from aud, "wealth, prosperity") and -mar ("fame, renowned"). It corresponds to German Otmar/Othmar and to the longer form Ottomar, so its core meaning is "famous for wealth" or "renowned prosperity." The cult of Saint Othmar, the 8th-century abbot of Saint Gall, helped spread the name in medieval German-speaking regions, from which it entered neighboring Slavic naming traditions.
Usage peaked intermittently in the late 19th and early 20th centuries during cultural revivals in the Czech lands, and today it remains uncommon yet distinctive. Variants and cognates include Otomar (CZ/SK), Otmar (DE/AT/SI/HR), Othmar (older German), and Ottomar (German). Diminutives such as Oto/Ota occur. Notable bearers include Czech director Otomar Krejča and actor Otomar Korbelář, reinforcing the name’s cultured, Central European aura.
