  Otis

  Namnet Otis har kommit till Sverige från USA, där det från början var ett efternamn, såsom hos politikern James Otis(?) och senare hos musikern Johnny Otis, men även som förnamn - främst hos soulartisten Otis Redding. Det sägs att Otis är en amerikansk smeknamnsform av det forntyska namnet Otto.
  
  Betydelsen är omtvistad. Antingen kommer det från äldre tyska och betyder "Ottos son", eller så kommer det från grekiskan. Där uppges olika betydelser: "öra" eller "den som hör bra" är en tolkning, "rik" eller "förmögen" en annan.
