Scottee (pronounced SKOT-ee) is a modern, stylistic respelling of Scottie/Scotty, the familiar diminutive of Scott.

As a given name it carries the sense of "a Scot," "one from Scotland," or more broadly "a Gaelic speaker," and has a brisk, outdoorsy feel.

Used as a nickname in Britain and North America since the 19th century, the base name Scott peaked in the 1960s-80s; the -ee forms flourished mid-century and have reappeared with contemporary creative spellings. Variants and related forms include Scott, Scot, Scottie, and Scotty; Scotia is a thematic cousin. Scottee reads unisex today, helped by crossover use of Scottie for girls, and is borne by the British performance artist Scottee.
