masculine · English origin
Scotty is an English diminutive of Scott, which derives from an Old English and Latin term referring to a person from Scotland or a Gaelic-speaking Scot. The name Scott originally functioned as a surname before transitioning into widespread use as a given name, and Scotty developed as its informal pet form. It is perhaps most widely recognized through the fictional character Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, the chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek franchise. Scott and Scot are the standard full forms from which this diminutive springs.
