Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jordann: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2000.

Jordann is a modern spelling variant of Jordan, a name rooted in the Hebrew word *yarden*, meaning “to descend” or “flow down,” referring to the River Jordan in the Middle East. The river itself is a powerful biblical symbol, and the name has been used for both boys and girls, though Jordann leans feminine in contemporary use. The most famous bearer of the classic form, basketball legend Michael Jordan, helped propel the name into global popularity, while the country of Jordan shares its name with the river. Other notable figures include model and actress Jordann Kim, and the name appears in various pop culture contexts. As a variant, Jordann offers a distinctive twist on a familiar classic, with alternative spellings like Jordyn and Jordana also popular in Scotland and beyond.
