It is German and means "Lucky Heroine"... however, I can't find the pronunciation anywhere.

Hi Erzsébet,Otylia is a spelling variant of Ottilia / Ottilie, which are latinized versions of Old German names beginning with Od-, so the meaning is not "lucky heroine", but "wealth".The pronunciation is o-TEE-lee-yah (stress on the second syllable).Regards, Satu
