Courtline is English in Origin.

Courtline is a modern English given name, probably created by blending Courtney with the French-influenced suffix -line (-leen) or by elaborating Courtlyn. Courtney itself comes from the Norman surname de Courtenay, taken from a place in Loiret, France; scholars link it to the Latin curtus “short,” source of the medieval epithet “short‑nosed,” while popular usage also echoes the idea of the royal court. Courtline therefore carries shades of “of Courtenay” and “courtly, courteous,” softened by the melodic -line ending.

Usage appears from the late 20th century onward, primarily in North America and chiefly for girls, though its Courtney root keeps it technically unisex. Variant spellings and relatives include Courtlyn, Courtlynn, Courtlynne, Courtline/Kourtline, Courtney, Courtland, and Cortland. Nicknames span Court, Coco, and Lina. Pronunciation varies: KORT-leen is common by analogy with Emmeline/Adeline, while KORT-line is also heard. Its rarity lends a polished, distinctive profile.
