Meaning and background
The story behind Lottie
Lottie is documented as a diminutive of Charlotte or Liselotte. The short form therefore has more than one immediate full-name source in Behind the Name. A dog named after a particular Lottie can retain the intended family connection, while the spelling alone does not determine which full-name history applies. The supported account is the affectionate shortening rather than a separate word meaning invented for the final syllables.
