Meaning:

Hotiwill is the variation of the Ottiwell. An ancient personal name. Ottiwell, a natural son of the celebrated Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, was tutor to those unfortunate children of King Henry I, who perished at sea, in the Blanche-Nef, in 1120. This surname has been borne for several generations, as a Christian name, in a respectable northern family of Wood. Some years ago a Mr. Ottiwell Wood appeared as a witness in a law- suit. His name being somewhat of a puzzle to the presiding judge, he was asked to spell it, which he did distichally, to the great amusement of the court, in manner following:-
"O double T, I, double U, E,
Double L, double U, double O, D!".
