Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:Down-flowing
Why not cut to the chase and gift baby an endearing nickname as their first name? Inspired by the Hebrew name Jordan, Jordie refers to the Jordan River. The River Jordan begins in northern Israel, passes through the Sea of Galilee, and ends in the Dead Sea. Meaning “down-flowing,” Jordie carries the same holy flowing energy as the powerful body of water, which has been running for millennia. It's written that this reverent river is where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ and holds great significance in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. An adorable appellation with undertones of unwavering faith, Jordie packs more meaning than one might initially think.
