Wealth, fortune, or prosperity
Otha is a rare masculine name of Germanic origin, derived from the element 'od' which signifies wealth or inheritance. It is closely related to the names Otto and Othello, sharing the same etymological root. While it enjoyed moderate popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, it has since become a distinctive and rare choice for modern parents.
