Gordun is Scottish in Origin.
Gordun is a modern, rare respelling of Gordon, the Scottish surname-turned-given name taken from the place Gordon in Berwickshire. The toponym is thought to derive from Brittonic elements gor- "spacious, great" and din/dunon "fort, hill-fort," yielding the sense "great/spacious fort." In Scottish Gaelic the name appears as Gòrdan, and medieval records show the surname with Norman influence before it spread through Lowland Scotland.
As a forename, Gordon gained wide use in the 19th-20th centuries, aided by figures such as General Charles George Gordon ("Gordon of Khartoum") and by the prestige of Clan Gordon, Earls and Marquesses of Huntly. Variants and related forms include Gordon, Gorden, the Slavic Gordan (distinct, meaning "proud"), and diminutives Gord, Gordy/Gordie; feminine counterparts include Gordana in South Slavic usage. Gordun keeps the same pronunciation and heritage while offering a contemporary, unconventional spelling.
