Kourtney is English in Origin.
An alternative spelling of Courtney, Kourtney stems from an English surname of Norman-French origin. The surname referred to someone from Courtenay, a place in central France whose name likely goes back to the Latin curtus, "short," possibly via a Gallo-Roman personal name. The popular gloss "short nose" reflects a later folk etymology rather than the true source. As a given name, Courtney appears in Britain for men from the 17th century, became unisex by the 19th, and surged for American girls in the late 20th century; the K-initial variant was lifted in visibility by Kourtney Kardashian.
Variants and related forms include Courtney, Cortney, Courteney, Kortney, and Kourtni; diminutives may be Court or Kort. The meaning is best understood as "from Courtenay" or "of the Courtenay family," with an underlying sense linked to "short." Kourtney tends to read modern and stylish while retaining a patrician, surname-derived pedigree.
