Court Origin and Meaning
The name Court is a boy's name meaning "tribunal presided over by a judge, area marked out for ball games; short nose".
As a word name, Court brings with it a plethora of potential meanings, from a legal gathering, to a stage for basketball or tennis, to a street. Sharp and strong, Court feels right at home with other rugged picks like Rhett and Jett. And yet, Court remains remarkably rare in the US. The alternate spelling Cort is only slightly more popular.
The longer form Courtney, although unisex, has comfortably sided with the girls for a long time. But now, maybe Court could be a nod to Mom, or Aunt Courtney.
