Palindromic man's name (4)

I believe the answer is:

otto

'palindromic man's name' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Italian for eight" , "German emperor" , "perfume maker" , "German king" , "- Preminger, Austrian-born US film producer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
