Lottie

Lottie, most often a nickname for Charlotte, traces its roots to the Germanic name Karl, meaning 'free man.' It traveled through French nobility as Charlotte, then as a standalone darling in Victorian England, embraced for its cheerful, diminutive charm. This name journeyed from royal courts to the everyday, becoming a beloved fixture in the early 20th century.

Imagine writing 'Lottie' on a birth announcement, the letters dancing across the page, full of lighthearted energy. It's a name that feels like a secret smile, a shared wink. For your child, it's the promise of a spirit that is both petite and fierce, free to be exactly who she is.
