Jorden

Meaning of Jorden

The name Jorden, primarily used for boys, is a variation of the more common name Jordan. It is pronounced as JOR-dən (/ˈdʒɔːrdən/) in English-speaking countries. The name has biblical origins, derived from the Hebrew "Yarden," meaning "to flow down" or "descend." This refers to the River Jordan, a significant river in Christian and Jewish traditions. Over the years, Jorden has seen fluctuating popularity in the United States. It first appeared in baby name records in 1903 and has experienced various degrees of usage ever since. While it peaked modestly in popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s, it remains a unique choice today with fewer than 50 occurrences in recent years. The name carries connotations of strength and serenity, much like the river it is named after, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a meaningful yet uncommon name for their son.
