Lotar (nickname)

Okay, so let's say you have a name, like "John". But sometimes your friends might give you a nickname, like "Johnny" or "Jack". Well, Lotar is kind of like a nickname for a man named Lotario. It's a shorter and easier way to say his name. Just like how you might call your friend "Bobby" instead of "Robert". It's just a fun way to make someone's name easier to say and remember.
