Jordie

Boy name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jordie: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2025.

A friendly, modern take on the ancient name Jordan, Jordie comes from the Hebrew Yarden, meaning "to flow down" or "descend," a reference to the River Jordan. It has been popularised as a given name in its own right, particularly by sports figures like New Zealand rugby star Jordie Barrett and Canadian ice hockey goaltender Jordie Binnington. While the Jordan River itself is the most direct place connection, the name also shares its root with the country of Jordan. Jordie is often used as a unisex diminutive, though it is more common for boys, and it offers a more informal, affectionate alternative to Jordan—perfect for parents seeking a name that feels both grounded and spirited.
