Jourdan Origin and Meaning

The name Jourdan is a boy's name.

Jourdan is a masculine name representing a French variant of Jordan, which originally referred to the Jordan River in the Middle East. The name carries spiritual significance in Christianity as Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. This French spelling with the characteristic 'ou' combination adds sophistication and distinctive style to the traditional form. While Jordan became extremely popular for both genders in English-speaking countries, Jourdan remains less common, offering familiarity with a touch of uniqueness. The name has a smooth, flowing quality that balances strength and elegance. In French pronunciation, the 'J' has a softer sound than in English. Jourdan presents a cosmopolitan alternative to the more widely-used Jordan.
