    My name is Jourdan but, since my name is spelled differently from the original name (Jordan) I couldn't find it. I just searched "Jordan" instead.

    GENDER: Masculine & Feminine
    USAGE: English, Macedonian
    OTHER SCRIPTS: Јордан (Macedonian)
    PRONOUNCED: JAWR-dən (English) [key]
    Meaning & History
    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-).

    sorry if the grammar sucks i just translated that from a french website

    Secret, with great emotion, Jerome has need for action, even if it confuses sometimes action and agitation. These reactions are secondary and do not shove it. Introverted, Jerome was hardly released him same except in the case of obligation, in which case he demonstrated accuracy and ruthlessly efficient. His character is good and gives a secure and safe environment while it also isolates him allowing him to shirk its responsibilities. Very intuitive, with many forebodings, Jérôme is also a very attractive man with lots of charm that has a great mental fertility.

    The site you gave said Kristian is a Scandinavian version of Christian.

    I prefer the Urban Dictionary instead. I quote:

    The most amazing person ever! Always finding ways to have fun and do crazy things. Will do anything to make you feel better even if it makes him look stupid and will probably embarrass you. He doesn’t care what other people think. Very loud! He always smells good. Lives life to the fullest always having fun. He always knows exactly what to say to make you feel better. This is the kristian I know, I would be lost without him.

    usually a well groomed individual, with a charming smile, and body built like zues. most of the time kristians are very athletic and known for their speed and quickness. kristians are very gud looking, and women are naturally attracted to him. Kristians are the best lovers and know how to satisfy the ladies.

    The perfect man, loving, caring, sexy, the best lover ever...

    Ahh that feels good.
