Courtier, dweller in a courtyard, or short form of Courtney
Originally an English occupational surname for someone who worked in a manorial court or lived in a courtyard. It is also frequently used as a short form of the French-derived name Courtney, meaning 'short nose', or the Germanic name Conrad. In modern usage, it stands alone as a brisk, occupational-style choice.
