MEANING & HISTORY
What does Scottie mean?
Scottie is a diminutive of Scott and is also used as a feminine form. Scott comes through a surname identifying a person from Scotland or a Scottish Gaelic speaker.
The familiar ie ending shapes a personal name rather than adding a separate ancient meaning. Scottie can stand independently as a registered name. Its country-related ancestry is not proof that a modern bearer was born in Scotland or has a particular nationality.
