Otho, Otis. Otto is a masculine German given name. It originates as an Old High German short form (variants Audo, Odo, Udo) of Germanic names beginning in aud-, an element meaning wealth, prosperity. The name is recorded from the 7th century (Odo, son of Uro, courtier of Sigebert III).
Construction of the Fountain. Already in the fifteenth century a small Trevi Fountain was built here during the papacy of Nicholas V. In 1732, pope Clement XII commissioned Nicola Salvi to create a large fountain at the Trevi Square to replace the existing fountain.
The Orpheus fountain is located in front of the Concert Hall in Stockholm, Sweden. It was created in 1936 by Carl Emil Andersson Milles, who was at that time Sweden's greatest living sculptor. The 24-ft. bronze figure of Orpheus, demigod of Music, is poised with his great lyre lifted and the other hand just sprung from the strings. In the fountain below him there is a circle of eight listeners, wakened from death, turn outward and upward toward the music.
