You can't find it because it isn't a foreign word or phrase. Lothario is a character in Nicholas Rowe's 1703 play, The Fair Penitent. He seduces and betrays the female lead. The name has come to mean a seducer of women.

Lothario Origin

It's not Spanish at all. First time I've heard it, so I doubt in Spain someone uses it.
It is an English word which maybe has some kind of twisted Spaniard origin (Don Quijote character) meaning "a Casanova", but it's real doubtful.
The more than probable origin of the word, is the name of a character from a work written by the English playwright Nicholas Rowe.

Lothario is a character in a play. The name is used in many languages as a synonym for "Don Juan" or "Casanova".
