Courtenay

With a name like Courtenay, your little one will never be too far from their next big triumph or milestone. Once a French place name, Courtenay has transformed into a gender-neutral first name, though its meanings speak of its locational beginnings. Deriving from the Latin word curtus, Courtenay means "short" or "short nose," so perhaps your tiny tot will be able to see and sense when naptime is drawing close or there's some tasty food cooking! Though variants like Courteney and Courtney have been popular over the years, there's nothing like the original, Courtenay.
