Wie kommt Ötzi zu seinem Namen?
Ötzis erster Name entwickelte sich aus der Namensgebung Konrad Spindlers, einem Prähistoriker der Universität Innsbruck. Er untersuchte die Mumie als erster und ihr erster Name leitete sich von ihrem Fundort ab: Mann vom Tisenjoch. Der Name Ötzi schließlich geht auf einen Zeitungsartikel aus dem September 1991 zurück.

The Iceman’s Last Days. Otzi’s stable isotopic signature suggests that he was probably born near the confluence of the Eisack and Rienz rivers of Italy, near where the town of Brixen is today, but that as an adult, he lived in the lower Vinschgau valley, not far from where he was eventually found.
