Meaning of Jordyn
The name Jordyn, primarily used for females, is a modern variation of the name Jordan. Pronounced as JOR-din (/dʒɔrdɪn/), it shares its roots with the Hebrew name Yarden, which means "to flow down" or "descend." This association ties back to the River Jordan, a significant biblical landmark. Over the years, Jordyn has gained popularity in the United States, consistently ranking among the top baby names since the late 1990s. Its alternative spellings include Jordan and Jordin. As reflected in U.S. birth data, Jordyn saw a significant rise in usage from the 1980s onwards, peaking around 2010 when it ranked 112th with 2,807 occurrences. The name's enduring appeal can be attributed to its strong yet graceful sound and its connection to both natural and spiritual elements.
