Courtnie Origin and Meaning

The name Courtnie is a girl's name.

Courtnie is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Courtney. Originally an English surname derived from French, meaning "from the court" or "courtyard dweller," it transitioned to first-name use in the mid-20th century. This particular spelling with "ie" instead of "ey" gives the name a distinctive, personalized touch while maintaining the same pronunciation. Courtnie enjoyed modest popularity during the 1980s and 1990s when Courtney was at its peak, but this variation has remained less common, making it a more unique option. The name conveys a sense of elegance and refinement, connected to its aristocratic origins, while the modified spelling adds a touch of individuality and modern flair.
