The name 'Hordan' is a suffix-derived derivative from the Slavic base name 'Gord', which is related to the adjective 'g'rd' meaning 'proud, haughty, arrogant'. For example, sources mention: in 1414, the patronymic Isayin Hrvdovych from the city of Suceava, and in 1505, a serf by the name of Koztha Hordan from the village of Horinchovo. In 1597, a serf named Gordon from the village of Trosnik is mentioned, and in 1648 - a serf Gardan Fedur from the village of Vorota. Additionally, there are names like Grdan and Grdanac among Serbs, as well as the female name Gordona among Slovenians.
