Scottie

Scottie is an English diminutive and pet form of Scott, which derives from the Old English and Medieval Latin term Scottus, meaning a Gaelic speaker or a person from Scotland. The name originally functioned as an ethnic descriptor before becoming a surname and eventually a given name. Scottie gained independent use as a first name largely in the twentieth century, often given affectionately in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Scott, Scotty, and the feminine variant Scotia.
