Uncertain:
* Likely, from a Proto-Semitic root denoting “to descend”, “to go or come down”, “to stream down”, “to come down to water”, “a place descending to water”, “a watering place”; cognates found Arabic وَرَدَ (warada, “to go down or come upon water”), Hebrew יָרַד (yāráḏ, “to go down”), Aramaic ירד (yreḏ, “stream”), and Ge'ez ወረደ (wärädä, “fall down, go down, drain off, pour down”), and Akkadian 𒉿𒊏𒁺𒌝 (warādum, “to go down to lower ground, to come ashore, to go downhill or downstream”).
* Dubiously, Ludwig Köhler has affirmed as a final interpretation a compound from Proto-Iranian *yáHr̥ (“year”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *yáHr̥, from Proto-Indo-European *yeh₁- (“year”) (compare Avestan 𐬫𐬁𐬭𐬆 (yār^ə, “year”)) and Proto-Iranian *dānu (“river”) (< Proto-Indo-Iranian *dáHnu < Proto-Indo-European *déh₂nu) (compare Ossetian дон (don, “river”), Avestan 𐬛𐬁𐬥𐬎 (dānu, “river”)), according to which the Jordan is the “year-river” because of its water level being consistent the whole year, backing this derivation by the theory that the name of the Orontes is of “certain” Iranian origin, although also found attested earlier. This is however unlikely, as the name “Yārdon” is found attested at the period of Ramesses II in the Papyrus Anastasi I, making the Semitic origin much more probable.

Found also in other Semitic languages: Galilean Aramaic חוּרְשָׁא (ḥuršā), Arabic حُرْش (ḥurš). From uses of the word in the Bible, it appears to be related to Semitic words relating to mountains: Ugaritic 𐎃𐎗𐎌𐎐 (ḫršn), Akkadian 𒄯𒊕 (ḫuršānu). Also probably related to Ge'ez ሐሪሥ, ሐሪስ (ḥäriś, ḥäris, “rhinoceros”) (the source of Arabic حَرِيش (ḥarīš, “rhinoceros”) and some Cushitic words for the rhinoceros) since this is also called in Ge'ez አርዌ፡ ሐሪሥ, አርዌ፡ ሐሪስ (ʾärwe ḥäriś, ʾärwe ḥäris) which would be “beast of the mountains”; regard the distribution of this animal and juxtapose Ge'ez አርዌ፡ ምድር (ʾärwe- mədr, “snake”, literally “beast of the ground”); Tigre ሐሪሥ, አውራሪሥ (ḥäriś, ʾäwrariś, “rhinoceros”), Tigrinya ሐሪሥ, አውራሪሥ (ḥäriś, ʾäwrariś, “rhinoceros”), Amharic ሐሪስ, አውራሪስ (ḥäris, ʾäwraris, “rhinoceros”) and Ge'ez አውራርስ, አውራሐርስ, አውራሪስ (äwrarəs, ʾäwraḥärs, ʾäwraris, “rhinoceros”).

a. 500 C.E., Babylonian Talmud, Bava Kamma 80a:

Said Rabbi Yishmael: My father's family was among the wealthy property owners in the upper Galilee. And why were they destroyed? They would graze in the forests, and judge monetary law with one person. And even though there were forests close to their homes, there was a small field and they would pass a path through it.

Amár R. Yishma'él: Mi-ba'aléi batím she-ba-Galíl ha-élyon hayú beit abba, u-mipnéi mah ḥarvú? She-hayú mar'ín baḥorshín, v'danín dinéi mamonót b-yaḥid, v-af al pi sh-hayú lahém ḥorshím samúkh l-vateihém, sadéh k'tanáh haytáh u-ma'avirín dérekh aleha.
