Jordans Forename Definition:
A male name. Hebrew ‘flowing down’, the name of the principal river of Palestine. There was an Old German personal name Jordanes, probably from the same root as Old Norse jördh ‘land’. Jordan is found as a christian name in England from the end of the 12th C, and the probability is that its ultimate source was the Old German Jordanes, but that its continued use was due to confusion with the name of the river, which would be familiar to returning Crusaders who were in the habit of bringing back Jordan water to be used in the baptism of their children.

Jordans Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Hebrew ‘flowing down’, the name of the principal river of Palestine. There was an Old German personal name Jordanes, probably from the same root as Old Norse jördh ‘land’. Jordan is found as a christian name in England from the end of the 12th C, and the probability is that its ultimate source was the Old German Jordanes, but that its continued use was due to confusion with the name of the river, which would be familiar to returning Crusaders who were in the habit of bringing back Jordan water to be used in the baptism of their children. The surnames Jordan, Jordans, Jordanson, Jordison, &c., are derived from it. C. W. Bardsley, Dictionary of English and WelshSurnames (pub. 1901) also derives the surnames Judd, Judson, Juggins, Juxon, Jewks, &.c., from Jordan by way of the nickname Jvdd. But there is no evidence connecting Judd with Jordan, and it is more probable that it was an Old English name cognate with Old German Judo which is recorded.
