Kurtis is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Curtis, which originated as an English surname derived from the Old French 'courteis' meaning 'courteous' or 'refined.' This name gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. The spelling with a 'K' gives the name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining its strong, traditional sound.
