Jordana LeSesne, formerly known as 1.8.7, is an American musician and producer. She now produces and performs as Jordana. She became known in the mid-1990s as a drum and bass producer. Vibe magazine called her "one of the most respected Drum ‘n' Bass producers in the US." In 2015, she was named as one of "20 women who shaped the history of dance music" by Mixmag. She is transgender and came out in 1998.
Jordana is my middle and Hebrew name. I admire the work of the Canadian clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson, and am honored to have a female version of his name.
What a beautiful and unique feminine name. Jordana is a really lovely alternative to Jordan for a girl, but I realized that Jordan for a girl is nice, but Jordana for a girl is better when you have Jordan as the masculine form. I can’t believe that this name is not popular.

The Jordana was given to 54 girls in the US in 2017 and Jordanna was given to 16 girls.
I recently discovered this name and I just love it. Its rare and unique, yet old and timeless. Very classy. My "sister names" are Imogen, Astrid, and Enni.
I love the name Jordana xx:). As it is my name! at school they call me Dana, Jord, Jordy. My Spanish relatives call me Hordana the Spanish river that travels through the country. Most people think the name is spelt like Gordana Goirdana Joirdane Gordarna which I find really annoying. People pronounce it like jaw-darn-ah but that's not how my mum wanted it to sound like jaw-dane-ah.
Jordana's a nice name. Different. But isn't it that cheapie makeup line they sell at Walmart and Target? It's literally a 99 cent line. That blows it for me. Jordana Cosmetics. Look it up.
This is such a pretty name. I wish people used this instead of Jordan (g).

Like many others, I prefer this variant to Jordan as a feminine name. And Jordana Brewster always comes to mind whenever I see this name. Anyway, I really love the way it sounds. A little girl can have this, and it would be easy to pronounce and have a lot of spirit; and an adult can have this name, and it would have lots of spunk and style.

Also used in Spanish (Hohr-dah-nah) and Portuguese (Shohr-dah-nah). Hebrew equivalent would be Yardena (Yahr-deh-nah). [noted -ed]

I don't love the name, but I'll give the parents who choose this name credit for turning it feminine instead of using Jordan, or just spelling it as Jordyn, as if a 'y' in the position of the unstressed vowel somehow turns a masculine name feminine.
