Name Meaning
English (of Norman origin): habitational name from Notre-Dame-de-Courson in Calvados, France, which was named with the Gallo-Roman personal name Curtius (from curtus ‘short’) + the locative suffix -o, genitive -onis. There is also a place called Curzon in Vendée, but this is not the source of the English surname.
