Meaning & Story
Motty is an English diminutive nickname, possibly a short form of Mortimer, from the Norman French place-name meaning still water or dead sea. As a pet name it has an endearing, slightly eccentric quality.
Motty is a name with wonderful personality baked in — it sounds like it belongs to a dog who is simultaneously slightly ridiculous and completely endearing. The kind of pet who does things their own way, who has developed quirky habits that make no sense but have become beloved routines. Inexplicably wonderful.
