Jordan

Jordan is a vibrant name with roots in French history, though it also holds significance in several other cultures. Originally, it was derived from the river Jordan, carrying the meaning 'flowing down'. This name gained prominence in France during the medieval times, often associated with crusaders returning from the Holy Land. It has maintained a loyal following due to its versatility and modern appeal. In contemporary use, Jordan is as likely to conjure thoughts of basketball legend Michael Jordan as it is a chic, Parisian child. It pairs well with a variety of middle names and is frequently shortened to Jordy or Jord.
