Kort is a distinct and unique first name of Scandinavian origin, specifically from Norway. It's derived from the Old Norse word 'kortr' which means 'short'. This name has been popular among the Norwegians for centuries but has only recently started to gain international recognition.
"Kort appears to have seen a significant increase in popularity since the late 1990s, with a notable peak of 24 births in 2004. However, it remains relatively uncommon, with fewer than 20 births each year after 2017."
