Kourtenay is a modern feminine variation of the traditional name Courtenay, featuring a distinctive spelling with the initial 'K' that emerged in the late 20th century. The original name has Anglo-Norman origins and was derived from a place name in northern France, meaning 'domain of Curtenus' or possibly 'short settlement.' This creative spelling reflects the trend toward unique name variants that began in the 1970s and accelerated in the 1990s. While considerably less common than Courtney, which peaked in popularity during the 1990s, Kourtenay offers parents a way to honor the classic name while giving their daughter a more distinctive identity. The name maintains the sophisticated sound of the original with an added touch of individuality.
