Otto's official name is: Otto Heinrich Frank. The surname Frank was sometimes misspelled as Franck.[1]
\r\n\r\nThe origin of the first given name Otto is not known.[2] The second name Heinrich referred to his maternal grandfather August Heinrich Stern (1838-1878). Otto's younger brother, Herbert August, was also named after this grandfather with his second name.[3]
\r\n\r\nOn 12 May 1939, Otto Frank signed a letter to: Mein liebes Annelein met dein Pim.[4] Anne Frank frequently referred to her father as Pim in her diary. As an explanation for this, she wrote: Pim (that's father's nickname).[5] Otto Frank himself later explained the name Pim as a derivative of Papim, a synonym for father. Because some people came to see a father figure in him after reading the diary, they also often referred to him as Pim in correspondence. Both before and after the publication of the diary, Otto Frank was also sometimes referred to as Papa or Papa Frank by third parties.[6]
\r\n\r\nIn his own family, Otto was also called Ottel or Ottl.[7] Pet names and nicknames were common in the Frank family, such as I (Alice Frank-Stern), Robo (Robert Frank), Lunni (Helene Elias-Frank), Bübü (Stephan Elias), Buddy (Bernd Elias).[8]
\r\n\r\nWhen Anne Frank wrote the second version (the B version) of her diary, she wrote a list of the names she wanted to give the people in a book to be published later. She first wanted to call her father Frederick Aulis, and later Frederick Robin.[9] Otto Frank did not adopt those names and kept the surname Frank in the first edition of the diary (1947).[10]
\r\n\r\nDe officiële naam van Otto is: Otto Heinrich Frank. De achternaam Frank werd soms foutief gespeld als Franck.[1]
\r\n\r\nDe herkomst van de eerste voornaam Otto is niet bekend.[2] De tweede naam Heinrich verwees naar zijn grootvader van moederszijde August Heinrich Stern (1838-1878). Otto's jongere broer, Herbert August, werd met zijn tweede naam ook naar deze grootvader vernoemd.[3]
\r\n\r\nOp 12 mei 1939 ondertekende Otto Frank een brief aan: Mein liebes Annelein met dein Pim.[4] Anne Frank noemt haar vader in haar dagboek regelmatig Pim. Als uitleg hiervoor gaf zij: Pim (dat is vaders roepnaam).[5] Otto Frank zelf verklaarde de naam Pim later als een afgeleide van Papim een synoniem voor vader. Omdat sommige mensen na lezing van het dagboek in hem een vaderfiguur zijn gaan zien, werd hij door hen in correspondentie ook vaak Pim genoemd. Zowel voor als na de uitgave van het dagboek werd Otto Frank door derden soms ook aangeduid als Papa of Papa Frank.[6]
\r\n\r\nIn zijn eigen familie werd Otto ook Ottel of Ottl genoemd.[7] Roep- en bijnamen waren in de familie Frank gebruikelijk, zoals I (Alice Frank-Stern), Robo (Robert Frank), Lunni (Helene Elias-Frank), Bübü (Stephan Elias), Buddy (Bernd Elias).[8]
\r\n\r\nToen Anne Frank de tweede versie (versie b) van haar dagboek schreef, noteerde ze op een lijstje welke namen ze de personen in een later te publiceren boek wilde geven. Haar vader wilde ze eerst Frederik Aulis, later Frederik Robin noemen.[9] Otto Frank heeft die namen niet overgenomen en in de eerste uitgave van het dagboek (1947) de familienaam Frank aangehouden.[10]
