English (esp. U.S.): transferred use of the surname, derived from the genitive case of the medieval given name Ote or Ode (of Norman, and ultimately Germanic, origin; cf. Otto). This originally denoted a man who was the ‘son of Ote’. It came to be used as a given name in America in honour of the Revolutionary hero James Otis (1725–83); in modern times it has been bestowed in honour of the American soul singer Otis Redding (1941–67).
