Correct spelling for the English word "Othni" is [ˈɒθni], [ˈɒθni], [ˈɒ_θ_n_i] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Othni is a biblical name that originated from Hebrew. It is a masculine given name that is derived from the Hebrew word "othniy" meaning "lion-like" or "strong as a lion". In the Bible, Othni is mentioned as the name of two individuals from the tribe of Judah.
The first notable figure with the name Othni is Othniel, who was the nephew of Caleb and the first judge of Israel after Joshua's death. Othniel was renowned for his bravery and leadership in saving Israel from oppression by King Cushan-Rishathaim of Mesopotamia.
The second person named Othni in the Bible is Othni, the son of Shemaiah and a descendant of the tribe of Judah. Although less prominent than Othniel, this Othni served as one of the gatekeepers in the temple during the reign of King David.
As a given name, Othni is relatively rare and less commonly used in modern times. However, its biblical roots and meaning as a lion-like or strong as a lion make it a powerful and meaningful choice for those seeking a unique and significant name for their child.
