Short form of BOGDANA, YORDANA or GORDANA.

	BOGDANA   female   Polish, Russian, Slovene, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Romanian, Medieval Slavic Feminine form of BOGDAN.
		BOGDAN   male   Polish, Russian, Slovene, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, Romanian, Medieval Slavic Means "given by God" from the Slavic elements bogu "god" and dan "given".
	YORDANA   female   Bulgarian Bulgarian feminine form of JORDAN.
		JORDAN   male & female   English, Macedonian From the name of the river which flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel. The river's name in Hebrew is יַרְדֵן (Yarden), and it is derived from יָרַד (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". In the New Testament John the Baptist baptizes Jesus Christ in its waters, and it was adopted as a personal name in Europe after crusaders brought water back from the river to baptize their children. There may have been some influence from the Germanic name JORDANES, notably borne by a 6th-century Gothic historian. This name died out after the Middle Ages, but was revived in the 19th century. In America and other countries it became fairly popular in the second half of the 20th century. A famous bearer of the surname is former basketball star Michael Jordan (1963-).
			JORDANES   male   Ancient Germanic Germanic name, probably related to the Norse element jord meaning "land". This name was borne by a 6th-century Roman author of Gothic background, who wrote a history of the Goths. It is possible that the spelling of his name was influenced by that of the Jordan River.
	GORDANA   female   Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian Feminine form of GORDAN.
		GORDAN   male   Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian Derived from South Slavic gord meaning "dignified". This name and the feminine form Gordana were popularized by the publication of Croatian author Marija Jurić Zagorka's novel 'Gordana' (1935).
