Courneya is an uncommon last name. It is a variant of the French Cornoyer, which is possibly an altered spelling of Corneyre, a ‘learned’ form of Cornier, which was a name for someone who lived on the corner of a street. Secondly, it may be a French form of the German Koerner.〔http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Cournoyer-family-history.ashx〕 In 1891, there were 3 families in England and Wales with this surname, 67% of these living in Yorkshire area, and almost 1/3 in the London region.〔http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Courneya-family-history-uk.ashx〕 The name was first seen in the USA in similar numbers in 1920, with 19 families. Michigan (32%) and Rhode Island (26%) had the majority of these families. The rest were in Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, and New Jersey.〔http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Courneya-family-history.ashx〕 Some well-known Courneyas include: * Julianne Courneya of Kanata, Ontario, age 21.〔http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/city/story.html?id=64cfaaf5-0137-4167-9471-172275e79938&k=30530〕 * Dennis Courneya, author, ex-soldier, and teacher.〔http://www.amazon.ca/dp/0738819913〕 * US soldier PFC Daniel W.
