Yordana
Just 27 women in Poland carry Yordana, so most people here have never met one. It's a respelling of the Hebrew Jordana, from a root meaning "flowing down".

What Yordana means
Where Yordana comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Yordana grows from Hebrew. The root yarad means to go down, to descend. From that root comes Yarden, the Hebrew name for the river Jordan, whose water drops from the northern hills toward the Dead Sea. The short meaning follows the geography: flowing down, descending.
The variant Jordana keeps the same root under a different first letter. That J travels easily across Polish, Spanish, and English registers. Yordana, with its Y, stays closer to the Hebrew sound.
A girl named Yordana might hear her name read slowly from a school register in September, the teacher pausing over the opening Y. The name gives no trouble once heard. It descends, like the river that named it, from one old verb meaning to flow down.
