Lothar
l(o)-thar
US Popularity:8073
Origin:German
Meaning:Famous army
Instilled with a fighting spirit, Lothar is an ancient masculine name linked to kingly reign. Lothar derives from the German Hlothar, composed of the elements hlut, meaning "famous," and heri, "army." Defined as a "famous army," Lothar is best remembered in the pages of history as the Holy Roman Emperor Lothar I (also spelled as Lothair). And while the 9th-century king's rule was subject to much intrusion, his tenacity never wavered. May baby Lothar tap into similar resilience when the time comes to forge their own empire.
