Courtni is a modern and unique given name of American origin, derived from the French word 'courte' meaning 'short'. It has gained popularity as an independent given name in recent years, offering parents a distinctive choice for their children.
The name Courtni experienced a significant rise in popularity between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, with peaks of over 60 births per year during this period. However, its usage has steadily declined since then, dropping to single digits by the early 2000s and remaining relatively low ever since, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2007 onwards. Overall, Courtni was given to a total of 937 newborn girls over the course of these years.
