What is the meaning of the name Jordanne ?

The baby name Jordanne is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒɔrˈdæn/ (jor-DAN); also commonly /ˈdʒɔrdən/ (JOR-dən) in English.

Jordanne is French, Hebrew in Origin.

Jordanne is a modern, French-influenced feminine form of Jordan, ultimately from the Hebrew Yarden, "to flow down, to descend," the name of the River Jordan. The name moved into Europe through Greek Iordanes and Latin Iordanes, then Old French Jourdain, before settling in English as Jordan; the -anne ending reflects French feminine morphology and English elaborative trends.

In medieval Europe, Jordan was bestowed on boys and girls alike, buoyed by Crusaders bringing back Jordan water for baptisms; it later skewed male in English, then resurged as a unisex choice in the late 20th century. Jordanne remains comparatively rare, seen in France and Québec alongside Jordane, and in the UK and North America as a distinctive spelling. Related forms and cognates include Jordan, Jordane, Jordanna/Jordana, Jordyn/Jordin, the surname forms Jourdan/Jourdain, and Italian Giordana. The meaning evokes flowing, descent, and by extension cleansing and renewal.
