About Orde
Unconventional British military officer Orde Wingate inherited his unusual given name from his mother, Mary Ethel Stanley Orde-Browne. Fittingly for his eventual profession (and that of his only son, also named Orde), it means "point, spear" and originally denoted someone living near a headland or ridge.
Pronounced ORD.
