kourtnee is English in Origin.

Kourtnee is a modern American respelling of Courtney/Kourtney, a given name that began as the English surname Courtney. That surname traces to the Norman French place-name Courtenay in central France, making the meaning essentially “from Courtenay.” A well-known folk etymology connects it to Old French court nez, “short nose,” a playful nickname sometimes cited as an alternate sense, though the place-name origin is more accepted.

As a given name, Courtney appeared for men in medieval England via aristocratic bearers, later becoming widely unisex and, in the late 20th century, predominantly feminine in the United States. Creative K- and -ee endings - like Kourtnee - grew with trends toward phonetic spellings and pop-culture visibility (e.g., Courteney Cox; Kourtney Kardashian). Variants include Courtney, Courteney, Kourtney, Kortney, Kourtnee, Kortnee, Kourtni, and Kortni. Usage of Kourtnee remains rare compared with the traditional Courtney.
