Corttney is English in Origin.
Corttney is a modern variant of Courtney, a given name derived from an English surname of Norman-French origin. The surname traces to the French place Courtenay in Loiret; its underlying Latin personal name Curtenus stems from curtus “short” (often glossed as “short-nosed”). As a forename in Britain, Courtney appears in records from the Middle Ages borne by men, later crossing to women in the 20th century, especially in North America.
Corttney, with a doubled t, is a creative respelling that parallels forms such as Courtney, Cortney, Courteney, Courtnee, Kourtney, and Kortney. The name saw broad popularity for girls in the late 1970s through the 1990s (while retaining lesser but steady unisex use), aided by surname-style fashions and media visibility. Nicknames include Court and Cori. Overall meaning: “from Courtenay; descendant of Curtenus; short/short-nosed.”
