Meaning & origin
Gotti is a rare American given name that first appeared in U.S. records in 2005. It has never broken into the top 1000, and its peak year so far was 2022. Since then, its trajectory has been falling. The name likely derives from German roots, possibly as a diminutive of Gottfried or a short form of other Gott- names. Its modern use may be influenced by the surname Gotti, famously borne by mobster John Gotti. Despite this association, Gotti has been used sparingly across the country, with no single state showing a significant concentration. Parents choosing Gotti may appreciate its short, punchy sound and Germanic heritage.
Gotti likely originated as a short form or nickname for longer German names containing Gott- (meaning 'God'), such as Gottfried. Its modern use as a given name may be influenced by surname use or popular culture. The name has seen sporadic use in the United States since 2005.
