Courtlyn is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Courtlyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Courtlyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Courtlyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Courtlyn ranks at #5,046. That means there are 5,045 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Courtlyn.
In fact, the name Courtlyn hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Courtlyn wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1996, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,880, 37 parents chose it in 1996 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Courtlyn, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Courtlyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Courtlyn a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 5,851, for a total of 17 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Courtlyn seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Courtlyn in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 150 women and girls named Courtlyn, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 150 women and girls named Courtlyn live in no more than 6 different states, including for example Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Courtlyn. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Courtlyn lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Courtlyn and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Courtlyn relative to its female population is Louisiana. And even there, only one in 73,485 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Courtlyn.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for girls' names. This is because 6.0% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.

On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 6.0% of all girls' names that begin with a C, this first letter is much more common than the average of all letters. And which girls’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Carol.
