Jordan (name)
Jordan is a given name and a surname. The form found in Western names originates from the Hebrew ''Yarden'', meaning "to go down", relating to the Jordan River.

It thus became popular as a first name. The Germanic name Jordanes, which was the name of a 6th-century Gothic historian, may have popularised the name as well.
