Courtene Origin and Meaning

The name Courtene is a girl's name.

Courtene is an unusual feminine name that appears to be a variant or elaboration of Courtney, which originated as an aristocratic Norman-French surname meaning "domain of Curtenus" or "short nose." With its elegant extended ending, Courtene creates a more elaborate, formal version of the more common Courtney. The name is exceedingly rare, not appearing in standard naming statistics or historical records as a traditional given name. Courtene has a sophisticated sound that might appeal to parents seeking something distinctive yet with familiar roots. Its rarity means a child named Courtene would likely never encounter others with the same name, making it a truly unique choice.
