Ottiilia is Germanic in Origin.

Ottiilia is a rare modern spelling of Ottilia/Ottilie, a feminine name that traces to the Old High German root ōd/ot (Proto-Germanic aud-) meaning “wealth, fortune, prosperity.” Through the medieval cult of Saint Odilia (also called Ottilia) of Alsace, the name spread across German-speaking Europe and into Scandinavia. A literary boost came from Goethe’s heroine Ottilie in Die Wahlverwandtschaften, prompting 19th-century revival and genteel use in Germany, Austria, and later Britain and the Nordics. The double‑i form Ottiilia appears occasionally in Nordic registers as an emphatic, decorative variant.

Standard variants include Ottilia and Ottilie (German/Scandinavian), Odilia and Odile (Latin/French), Otilia (Romance languages), and the Swedish Ottilja. Diminutives and short forms range from Otti and Ottie to Tillie/Tilly, Tili, and Lia. Across its forms, the name conveys the sense of “riches,” “good fortune,” or “prosperity,” making Ottiilia a distinctive, heritage‑steeped choice with a bright, auspicious meaning.
