Lottie
Girl name · 771 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lottie: 771 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 116 births in 2025.
Lottie began life as a friendly, affectionate diminutive of Charlotte, itself the French feminine form of Charles, which derives from the Germanic word for "free man." One of the most versatile early sportswomen, Lottie Dod won Wimbledon five times in the 1880s and also excelled at golf, hockey and archery. The name also belongs to Lottie Moon, the pioneering American missionary to China whose influence is still celebrated. Place-wise, the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, echoes the same royal root through Queen Charlotte. While Lottie was a Victorian favourite, it has enjoyed a modern revival as a stand-alone name rather than a nickname, offering a cheerful, vintage charm that feels both playful and grounded.
