Meaning and background
The story behind Giordano
Giordano is the Italian form of Jordan, a personal name originally connected with the River Jordan. That gives it a different lineage from Giorgio, despite their similar openings. It has a documented Italian pronunciation, with the stress on the middle syllable. Historical people such as Giordano Bruno make the name recognisable, but their lives are cultural associations, not alternative etymologies for the word.
