Meaning and background

The story behind Lotti

Lotti is a diminutive of Charlotte or Liselotte. The linked entries identify Charlotte as a French feminine diminutive of Charles and Liselotte as a combination of Lise and Charlotte. These are related but different full-name structures. The exact short spelling can preserve either family connection, so selecting one older meaning requires identifying the intended parent name rather than treating every Lotti as a single independent creation.
