| General notes | If Celtic, Otto, Ottus is probably a hypocoristic short name from the compound Otio-rix (cf. CIL III 3628) or less probable, a dialectal variant of *oxtu- 'eight' ? Due to it´s indifferent sound structure, the name can not be assigned to any language (Celtic or non-Celtic, IE) with certainty. |
