/OT · tee/


“Wealth and inheritance”

A short form of the German name Ottilie, also used as a variant of the masculine name Otto. Both root names trace back to the Old High German element 'ot', meaning possession or wealth, so Otto is understood as 'the owner' or 'the rich one', and Ottilie as inherited wealth or heritage.
