Scotty Origin and Meaning

The name Scotty is a boy's name.

Scotty is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive form of Scott, which itself began as a surname referring to a person from Scotland. This friendly, approachable nickname has occasionally been used as a given name in its own right, particularly in the mid-20th century. Scotty has a distinctly casual, boyish charm that some parents find appealing for its warmth and accessibility. The name gained cultural recognition through various fictional characters, including Star Trek's Chief Engineer Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott. While traditional as a nickname, Scotty as a formal given name peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. It carries associations with loyalty, practicality, and an unpretentious nature. Some parents may choose it to honor Scottish heritage or family members named Scott.
