Meaning & origin

Since then, its usage has remained low and stable, with single-digit births in most subsequent years. The name does not appear in the top 1000 for any year, and its trajectory suggests it will continue to be a rare choice.

Its etymology is unclear, likely a respelling of Diana or Dayana, reflecting the late 20th-century trend of creative name spellings.
