The surname Courtney, with Irish descent, has an intriguing history that reflects a blend of Norman influence and Gaelic lineage. The Courtney name is an Anglicized form of the Old French 'de Courtenai', which arrived in Ireland following the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century. Originally, the de Courtenais were a noble family from the town of Courtenay in the Loiret département of France. The name translates to 'domain of Curtius', a Roman reference, indicating land held by a man named Curtius.

When the Anglo-Normans, led by Strongbow, invaded Ireland in 1169, they brought with them their customs, laws, and surnames, including the de Courtenais. Over time, the name became Hibernicized, adapting to the linguistic and cultural environment of Ireland. The Gaelic form of the name often appeared as "O'Curneen," though it is less commonly used today.

The Courtneys settled predominantly in the province of Munster, particularly in the counties of Cork and Limerick. Across these regions, they became established as landowners, with some influencing local politics and others integrating into the fabric of Gaelic society. Throughout Irish history, the Courtneys have been part of both the ruling Anglo-Norman class and the subsumed Irish gentry, reflecting a dual heritage that characterizes many Irish surnames of Norman origin.
