Gordion Origin and Meaning

The name Gordion is a boy's name.

Gordion is an uncommon masculine name with ancient historical connections. Most notably, it relates to Gordium, the capital city of ancient Phrygia (located in modern Turkey), famous for the legendary Gordian Knot that Alexander the Great ultimately cut with his sword. The name carries connotations of complexity, challenge, and bold solutions through this historical association. As a personal name, Gordion remains exceedingly rare, appealing primarily to parents interested in classical history or seeking truly distinctive names. It has a commanding presence with its strong consonants and mythological resonance. The name might also be connected to the Greek name Gordias, the king who supposedly created the famous knot.
