Ottilie is a feminine given name. It is a French derivative of the medieval German masculine name Otto, and has the meaning "prosperous in battle", "riches", "prosperous" or "wealth".




Usage


The name has been in use among Flemish and German families since the medieval era. According to legend, Odile of Alsace, a Roman Catholic saint also known as Saint Odilia or Ottilia, was born blind but regained her sight when she was baptized. The saint was revered in France, Germany, and Switzerland. Ottilie is a variant of Odile. Ottilia, Ottiliana, and Ottoline are variants of Ottilie. Ottilie was in occasional use in the United Kingdom by the 19th century, where it was in use mainly by families of Flemish and German descent who had settled in Yorkshire and Lancashire as well as in London. Ottilie and variant Ottoline came into rare, occasional use among upper class English families by the early 20th century. Ottilie increased in use among socially influential British families by the 1980s. It was the name most often given to newborn girls whose parents published a birth announcement in The Daily Telegraph in 2019. One study found that Ottilie was the second most popular name chosen by billionaires for their daughters. The name has increased in popularity in England and Wales in recent years. It has ranked among the top 500 names for girls in those countries since 2015 and was the 83rd most popular name for girls there in 2022.
Usage of the names Ottilie and Ottilia in the United States was greatest in the 1800s among Austrian, Bohemian, German, Polish, and Swiss immigrants. It is now an unfamiliar name to many Americans, but is also increasing in usage in the United States.
