Meaning of Jordana

Jordana (pronounced jor-DAN-uh) derives from the Hebrew Yarden, meaning “to flow down” or “descend,” a direct reference to the biblical Jordan River. Widely embraced in Latin cultures through its Spanish and Portuguese usage, the name conveys strength and renewal without sacrificing a gentle, melodic quality.
