Ottis by the numbers

In 2025, 13 babies in England and Wales were named Ottis. In the US, 7 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.

For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.

Its American peak was 130 babies in 1920, so it is a 1920s name that has since fallen a long way.
