Corteney Origin and Meaning

The name Corteney is a girl's name.

Corteney is a feminine name that appears to be a spelling variation of Courtney. The traditional Courtney derives from a French surname meaning 'domain of Curtenus' or 'short nose,' originally referring to a place name. This particular spelling gives the classic name a distinctive touch while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. Courtney became popular as a given name in the 20th century, especially during the 1970s and 1980s, though the Corteney variant has remained much less common. The name carries aristocratic associations from its origins as a Norman place name and surname, combined with a modern, unisex quality that became established with its popularity as a feminine name.
