Jourdana
jo(u)-rda-na,
jour-dana
Origin:French
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:Flowing down, descending
The feminine name Jourdana has traveled the same course as its closest variant, Jourdain. As a French feminine variant of Jordan, Jourdana calls to mind the biblical River Jordan, where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. In Hebrew, this river's name is Yarḏen, a title that holds the definitions of "flowing down" or "descending." Just as all rivers are on a constant path toward their ocean source, your Jourdana will pursue their dreams with the same intensity and force.
