Jordana Publishing was founded by Svetolik Paul Djordjević exclusively for the publication of his dictionaries. The name is a combination of the first names of his late parents, Jordan and Dana, to honor their memory. Mr. Djordjević explains that his company name is, "A thank you to a couple who though illiterate—he virtually, she completely—raised a family of eight, all of them decent and productive members of the human family."
Jordana Publishing has recently released the 3rd Edition of Djordjević's French-English Dictionary of Medicine on CD. Two more medical dictionaries will be published soon, a Croatian and Serbian into English Medical Dictionary and an English into Serbian Medical Dictionary, containing over 52,000 entries each.

Svetolik Paul Djordjević was born and raised in the former Yugoslavia. He studied theology in Belgrade and then in Bracknell, England, before immigrating to the United States, where he received an MA in Systematic Theology from the Seminary of Andrews University in 1966 (Berrien Springs, MI). In 1970, Svetolik received an MA in Russian from American University in Washington, D.C.; and by 1972 he had completed the required class work and comprehensives for a PhD in Russian Literature at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Svetolik has worked as a language teacher, translator, and interpreter for over 40 years. From 1981 until his retirement in 2005, he was an in-house medical translator for Slavic languages and French for the Social Security Administration in Woodlawn, MD.
