fotter

Fotter is a term with no widely recognized definition in major reference works. In most contexts it is encountered as a typographical error for "footer," the bottom section of a webpage or document that typically contains navigation links, copyright notices, and related information. As such, fotter appears in informal writing, programming comments, or content management templates where the correct spelling should be "footer."

Beyond that, fotter can occur as a proper noun in very limited contexts. It may be used as a surname in some genealogical records or as a place name in fictional works; however, there is no established geographic or biographical coverage for it in reputable sources.

Because the term is sparsely used, there is no standard etymology. If considered as a variant of "footer," it would share the same root meaning related to the bottom part or end of a document or page. If treated as a surname, it would follow general surname-origin patterns in the relevant language area, but data are limited.
