The name Motti is a charming and distinctive choice for a baby boy, with deep roots in Hebrew culture. Pronounced as MOH-tee (/moʊˈti/), this name is often associated with warmth and friendliness. It is a diminutive form of Mordechai, a significant figure in Jewish history known for his wisdom and bravery. The variation "Motty" offers an alternative spelling while maintaining the same phonetic appeal. Though relatively rare in the United States, with only a few occurrences recorded in recent years, Motti's uniqueness makes it a standout choice for parents seeking a meaningful and culturally rich name.
