Cortie

Cortie is a diminutive, often affectionate, nickname derived from the given name Courtney. It is most commonly used as a casual or informal name for individuals named Courtney, regardless of gender. The use of "-ie" or "-y" as a suffix to create nicknames is a common practice in English-speaking countries, and Cortie follows this pattern. While primarily used as a nickname, it is possible, though uncommon, for Cortie to be used as a given name in its own right. The prevalence and usage of Cortie are significantly lower than the original name Courtney.
