The name Jordan can refer to several things. As a name, it comes from the Hebrew ירדן (Yarden), meaning "one who descends" or "to flow down" , and assimilated into Latin as ''Jordanus'' (or ''Jordana'' for a female). In Arabic it is ''Urdunn'', in Italian ''Giordano'', in Spanish ''Jordán'', in Portuguese ''Jordão'', in Dutch ''Jordaan'', in French ''Jourdain'', in Irish ''Iordáin'', in Romanian ''Iordan'', and in Catalan ''Jordà''. Jordan can be either a given name (male or female) or a surname. "Jordan" is also widely used as geographical name, such as in the Jordan River in the Middle East. ==Christianity== *Jordan (Bishop of Poland) (d. 982 or 984), the first Bishop of Poland *Jordan of Clivio (d.1120), an Archbishop of Milan *Jordan of Saxony (d.1237), a Dominican master general *Jordan of Santa Susanna (d. after 1154), a cardinal and a papal legate *Jordan Catalani (d.1330), a Dominican missionary and explorer *Raymond Jordan *Jordan of Pisa *Samuel M.
