Variant or alternative form relating to Boeotia or Boeotian; less commonly used than 'Boeotian'.
From 'Boeotia' with the alternative suffix '-otic' (Greek '-ōtikos') instead of the more common '-ian'. Both suffixes are productive in English for creating adjectives from place names, with '-otic' being somewhat less common but still valid.
English has multiple ways to turn place names into adjectives—compare 'Boeotian' and 'Boeotic,' or 'Italian' versus 'Italic.' These variant forms show how language offers multiple options, and sometimes one becomes standard while others fade away or remain as alternatives.
