Courtney is English in Origin.
Courtney is an English unisex given name taken from the surname Courtenay/Courtney, borne by a prominent Anglo-Norman family from the town of Courtenay in Loiret, France. The placename traces to a Gallo-Roman estate name (Curtiniacum), likely formed from a personal name; a medieval folk etymology that the name means "short nose" (from Old French court nez) is picturesque but doubtful. In Ireland, Courtney can also represent anglicized forms of Gaelic surnames such as Ó Curnáin or Mac Cuarta, giving the forename multiple surname origins.
Used as a masculine given name in Britain from the 17th century, Courtney became widely adopted for girls in the United States and elsewhere from the 1970s, peaking in the 1980s-90s. Notable bearers include Courtney Love, Courteney Cox, and Courtney B. Vance. Variants and spellings include Courtenay, Courteney, Cortney, Kourtney, Kortney, Kourtnee; nickname Court.
