courtesan

Originally meant a female courtier, a woman of a royal or noble court. By the Renaissance, the connotations of the word had acquired that of the mistress or concubine of a king or a noble.

Now it generally means a high-class prostitute whose clients are wealthy men.

"Christian, I'm a courtesan; I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe." -Satine, Moulin Rouge

Thaïs, Empress Theodora, Diane de Poitiers, Mary Boleyn, Anne Boleyn, Madame du Pompadour, Marie Duplessis, and Mata Hari are but a few of many famous courtesans.

Courtenay

A girl that doesn't have daggers in her bewbs. Hotter than french fry grease as McDonald's during peak hours. Shes got a little bit of sass but don't let that fool you she's a genuine sweetheart. She's a little bit of gangster rap with a hint of rock and roll. She's far from basic and don't let the spelling fool you she knows how to keep it real.

Did you see that Courtenay (with a "nay") at the club last night? She flashed everyone but the DJ!!!

courtesan

A synonym for prostitute employed by upperclass clients. Basically, a nicer term for whore used in the 1500's-1800's.

A lot of European kings had longtime courtesans in addition to their wives.
