Ottmar is a masculine given name of Germanic origin, composed of the elements 'ott' meaning 'wealth', and 'mari' which is a short form of Marianus, derived from the Roman family name Marius. This name has been used throughout history, notably by Ottmar, a 9th-century Count of Coire in Switzerland. The name is also associated with Saint Ottmar (also known as Othmar), an Irish abbot who settled in Switzerland and founded the monastery at St. Gallen. Today, Ottmar remains a relatively uncommon name, yet it carries a rich historical heritage.
"In 1992 and 1993 combined, there were 13 babies named Ottmar."
