Okay kiddo, a lota is a type of small container that is commonly used in South Asia for things like washing hands or storing water. It looks like a little pot with a spout on one end and a handle on the other.
In some parts of South Asia, it's also a common name for boys. It might seem strange to have a name that's the same as a container, but in some cultures, names are often inspired by everyday objects or things in nature.
So, if you ever hear someone called Lota, you might want to make sure they aren't actually talking about the container and are referring to a person!
