Ottie is Germanic in Origin.
Ottie is an English pet form turned given name, most commonly short for Otto (German) or Ottilie/Ottilia (German and French forms), all from the Old High German element aud/od meaning “wealth, fortune, prosperity.” Used for boys and girls in late-Victorian and Edwardian records in Britain and the United States, it functioned as an affectionate byname that sometimes stood alone. The name saw quiet mid-century decline, then a gentle revival in the 2010s-2020s, especially in the UK, in step with the comeback of Otto and Ottilie.
Variants and related forms include Otto, Otis, Ottilie, Ottilia, Ottoline/Ottiline, Oda, and Odette; diminutive spellings Otti and Otty also appear. While chiefly linked to the “prosperity” root, Ottie can be adopted as a modern nickname for Octavia or Ottavia, yielding the alternative meaning “eighth.” Its soft sound and vintage charm make it a versatile, unisex choice.
