What is the meaning of the name Ottillie ?

Ottillie is Germanic in Origin.

Rooted in the Germanic element aud/od ("wealth, prosperity"), Ottillie is a modern respelling of Ottilie, the French- and German-influenced feminine form of Odilia/Ottilia. The name is linked to Saint Odilia (St. Ottilie) of Alsace, venerated since the early Middle Ages and associated with healing and sight. In literary circles, Goethe's Die Wahlverwandtschaften (Elective Affinities, 1809) lent Ottilie sleek, introspective cachet, and the name flourished in 19th-century German- and Scandinavian-speaking regions.

Variants include Ottilie (standard), Ottilia (Nordic and Central European), Odilia, and the French cognate Odile; related diminutives are Tilly/Tillie, Tilla, and Otti. Usage today shows a gentle revival in the UK and parts of Europe, while remaining rare in North America. Across forms, the meaning centers on "prosperity, fortune," with an undertone of heritage and nobility from the Otto/Od- name family. Ottillie preserves this vintage charm with an ornamental double-l twist.
