The last name coutee, what origin is this?

Question

IS THIS NATCHEZ INDIAN

Answer 1

It sounds like a corrupted French name to me, and I think it's probable that the "ee" ending is indeed American Indian -- lots of Indian place-names in the Southeast end with that -- Suwanee, Econlockhatchee, etc.

Answer 2

This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name,
