Courtnée Origin and Meaning

The name Courtnée is a girl's name.

Courtnée is a feminine name that represents a stylized variant of Courtney. While Courtney originated as an Anglo-Norman surname derived from French place names combining 'court' (meaning 'short' or referring to a courtyard) and 'ey' (meaning 'island' or 'settlement'), Courtnée adds a distinctive French-inspired flair with its accent mark and double 'e' ending. The name Courtney became popular as a given name for girls in the 1970s and 1980s, with creative spellings like Courtnée emerging later as parents sought more unique versions. This variant maintains the sophisticated feel of the original while offering individuality through its stylized spelling.
