History & Origin
Jordann is a girls' spelling variant of Jordan, from the River Jordan, whose name comes from Hebrew yarad, 'to flow down' or 'descend.' Jordan rose sharply for both sexes in the 1980s and 90s, and doubled or altered spellings such as Jordann arose as parents personalized it for daughters. The meaning is that of the river.
The spelling crested around 1990 and stayed uncommon, borne by roughly a thousand girls across a run into the 2020s. A Jordann named at the peak is now in her mid-thirties, a younger millennial. The plain Jordan dominated; this spelling reads as a modern girls' variant of a unisex favorite.
