Lottie

/ LOT-ee /

feminine

Meaning

Free man; little Charlotte

Origin

French / German

Lottie is a diminutive of Charlotte, which is the feminine form of Charles (meaning 'free man'). It was exceptionally popular in the late 19th century and has recently returned to fashion, particularly in the UK. While traditionally a nickname, it is increasingly used as a standalone name by parents seeking a 'spunky vintage' alternative to the more formal Charlotte.
