Kortne is English in Origin.

Kortne is a modern respelling of Courtney, an English given name derived from the Norman baronial surname Courtenay, taken from the place in Loiret, France. Its meaning is debated: possibilities include a locative sense “of Courtenay,” a folk etymology from Old French court nez “short nose,” and an association with the idea of being courtly or courteous, influenced by Old French courtois.

As a given name, Courtney appears for men in medieval and early modern records, became rare, then rose as a unisex name in the 20th century; in the U.S. and other Anglophone countries it has skewed female since the 1970s–1990s. Kortne (and similar variants Cortney, Kortney, Kourtney, Courteney, Courtenay) reflects late-20th-century preference for distinctive K- and simplified spellings. Short forms include Court and Cort. Usage today is moderate to uncommon, with the K- spellings the rarest.
