Jordann Origin and Meaning

The name Jordann is a boy's name.

Jordann is a modern spelling variation of the classic name Jordan, which derives from the Hebrew name for the Jordan River. The name literally means 'flowing down' or 'descender,' referring to the river's downward course. While traditionally used for boys, Jordan became popular for both genders in the late 20th century, and this variant spelling Jordann follows that unisex trend while leaning masculine. The doubled 'n' ending gives this version a contemporary feel and distinctive appearance while maintaining the original pronunciation. This spelling variation emerged as parents sought ways to personalize traditional names. Jordann remains significantly less common than the standard spelling, making it a more unique option that still connects to the established name's biblical origins and natural associations with the famous Middle Eastern river.
