Kortnie Origin and Meaning

The name Kortnie is a girl's name.

Kortnie is a modern variant spelling of Courtney, a name of French origin meaning 'from the court' or 'short nose.' This creative spelling emerged primarily in the late 20th century as part of the trend toward unique name variations. While Courtney peaked in popularity during the 1990s in the United States, the Kortnie spelling has always remained relatively rare. The 'K' beginning and 'ie' ending give this version a distinctly contemporary feel compared to the more traditional spelling. Kortnie maintains the same friendly, approachable sound as Courtney but with an individualistic twist that may appeal to parents seeking familiarity with a unique edge.
