What Does the Name Ottlie Mean?
Ottlie is a rare spelling of Ottilie, a feminine name of Germanic origin meaning "wealth, fortune." It goes back to the Latinized Odilia, from a Germanic name built on the element aud (appearing in Old High German as ōt), meaning "wealth" or "fortune." The exact formation is uncertain: the ending may be a suffix rather than a separate meaningful element, so the name is often treated as a feminine derivative of that element rather than as a compound with a second root.
Ottlie Name History & Origins
The name is tied to Saint Odilia (also called Odile), an early medieval abbess in Alsace who died around 720 and became the patron saint of Alsace. Her Latinized name Odilia was used in medieval records, and the German form Ottilie developed from it; French uses Odile. Ottlie is a simplified variant spelling of the German name rather than the standard German form. The parent name Ottilie later appeared in German literature, notably as a character in Goethe's Elective Affinities (1809), but that literary use is separate from the name's medieval origin.
