Ottilien is Germanic in Origin.

Ottilien is a rare Germanic feminine given name, most often a regional or dialectal variant of Ottilie/Ottilia. It ultimately derives from Old High German aud/ot, meaning “wealth” or “fortune,” transmitted through the medieval Latinized Odilia; it is cognate with Otto and Odilo. Accordingly, the name carries senses such as “prosperous,” “riches,” and “fortunate.” The -en ending reflects German inflectional patterns that occasionally became fixed in given names, and examples appear in older parish records across German-speaking areas and parts of Scandinavia.

Use has been modest, with small peaks in the 18th–19th centuries and occasional modern revival among families drawn to vintage Germanic forms and to the cult of Saint Odile/Ottilie, patron of the blind (cf. St. Ottilien in Bavaria). Related forms include Ottilie, Ottilia, Otilia, Odilia, Odile, and the Nordic Othilie/Othilia; diminutives and nicknames include Tillie, Tilli, Otti, and Lili.
