      The name Jordan is Hebrew in origin and it means 'to flow down'. It is pronounced JOR-dan. It is the name of the key river in Palestine and has been used as a first name ever since the Crusades. It has its roots in the Hebrew term Yarden, which means "one which descends". It has been assimilated into Latin as the name Jordanus.

      There are different variations of the same. For instance, it is Giordano in Italian; in Arabic it is Urdunn; in French Jourdain; in Spanish Jordán; and in Catalan Jordà.

      It is also popularly used to refer to country belonging to southwest Asia, located in northwest Arabia, by the same name. It is both a girl and a boy's name. Jordan is also a popular first name and a surname.

        From the name of a river flowing between the countries of Jordan and Israel. The river's name in Hebrew is יַרְדֵן (Yarden), and it is derived from יָרַד (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". In the New Testament John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ in its waters, and it was adopted as a personal name after crusaders brought back water from the river to baptize their children. The name died out after the Middle Ages, but was revived in the 19th century. As a surname, it is borne by former basketball star Michael Jordan (1963-).
