About the name Jordynn
Jordynn is a modern American spelling of Jordan. Jordan comes from the Hebrew name of the River Jordan, Yarden, derived from yarad, meaning ‘to descend’ or ‘flow down’. In the Bible, the Israelites cross the Jordan to enter Canaan and John the Baptist baptizes Jesus in its waters. Returning crusaders brought water from the river to baptize their children, which helped establish Jordan as a given name in medieval Europe. The spellings Jordyn and Jordanne are also used for girls.
