The history of the last name Lottie

The surname Lottie is believed to have originated in England during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. It is derived from the Old English word "lott," which means "small portion" or "share of land." This suggests that the name was likely given to someone who owned or worked on a small plot of land.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Lottie can be found in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire from the year 1327, where a person named William Lottie is listed as a taxpayer. This indicates that the name was already in use and established in that region by the early 14th century.

The surname Lottie may also have connections to various place names in England, such as Lottisham in Gloucestershire or Lottisford in Oxfordshire. These place names likely incorporate the same Old English root word "lott," suggesting that the surname could have originated from people who lived or worked in those areas.

Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the surname Lottie. One example is Sir John Lottie (1450-1532), who served as a member of Parliament for the borough of Appleby in Westmorland during the reign of King Henry VIII. Another notable figure was William Lottie (1610-1678), a English clergyman and author who wrote several religious works in the 17th century.

In the 18th century, a man named Thomas Lottie (1725-1795) gained recognition as a successful merchant and landowner in the city of Bristol. His son, also named Thomas Lottie (1760-1842), followed in his footsteps and became a prominent businessman in the same city.

During the 19th century, a woman named Elizabeth Lottie (1820-1890) made a name for herself as a pioneering educator and advocate for women's rights. She founded several schools for girls in London and campaigned tirelessly for equal educational opportunities for women.
