Lotta

With roots in German and Swedish cultures, Lotta is a subtly vivacious name meaning 'free woman'. It's often a diminutive of Charlotte, giving it a more playful and approachable feel. Lotta enjoys popularity particularly in Scandinavian countries, where its simplicity and cheeriness are appreciated. It's less common in English-speaking regions, making it an appealing choice for those looking for something a bit different. Its compact form makes it a perfect standalone name or a delightful nickname.
