Jordana is Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Jordana is a feminine form of Jordan, ultimately from Biblical Hebrew Yarden, the name of the Jordan River. Hebrew y-r-d is the verbal root to go down, descend; the river name is commonly interpreted as the descender or flowing down, referring to its course from the northern highlands toward the Dead Sea. Greek Iordanēs and Latin Iordanes carried the form into Christian and European naming.

As a personal name, Jordan spread in medieval Europe through biblical geography, baptismal associations with the River Jordan, and crusading-era devotion. Jordana appears as a feminine adaptation in Romance-language contexts, especially Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, alongside Italian Giordana, Romanian Iordana, and Slavic Jordanka. In English it has been less common than Jordan; U.S. records show intermittent use from the late twentieth century, with a small peak in 2009 rather than sustained Top 1000 status.
