Jordena is a rare feminine elaboration of Jordan, ultimately from Hebrew Yarden, “to flow down, descend,” the name of the Jordan River. The form reached English through Latin Jordanus and Old French Jourdain, carrying strong Christian associations with baptism and pilgrimage to the Holy Land; small flasks of river water once inspired the name’s spread across Europe. The meaning is often glossed as “flowing down” or “from the Jordan.”
