Gordon is a baby boy name of Scottish origin, meaning “spacious fort.” Though Gordon Ramsay fans may adore this name due to jokes and food critiques, Gordon derives from a Boernician tribe and place in Berwickshire, Scotland. The Scottish village is a historic location surrounded by quaint parks, peaceful scenery, and remnants of heroic knights and legends. Gordon is also an English last name brought to Britain by Normans from a place called Gourdon in France. Whether baby is from this little town or found their place in a Scottish family, the name Gordon can be the perfect fit.
