Ottilie is Germanic in Origin.
Ottilie is the English and German form of a medieval name from the Old High German root aud/od (“wealth, fortune”). It is a feminine offshoot of Otto via Odilia/Ottilia; reverence for Saint Odilia (Ottilia) of Alsace, an early medieval abbess and patron of the blind, helped spread the name through German and French regions. The meaning centers on prosperity or riches, sometimes extended to “fortunate.”
Use was steady in German-speaking Europe from the Middle Ages and fashionable in the 18th–19th centuries; Goethe’s Elective Affinities (1809) popularized the graceful heroine Ottilie. In Britain the name saw genteel Victorian use and has enjoyed a modern revival in the 2010s–2020s. International variants include Ottilia (German/Scandinavian), Otilia (Romanian/Spanish/Portuguese), Otylia (Polish), Odilia and Odile (French). Related forms are Ottoline/Ottaline. Nicknames include Ottie/Otti, Tilly/Tillie.
