Meaning & origin
Diontay is an extremely rare modern American name first recorded in U.S. data in 1989. It reached its peak usage in 1990, just one year after its debut, and has since maintained a stable but very low level of use. The name has never appeared in the top 1,000 rankings, and its 1-in-N ratio is unknown due to its rarity, but it is estimated that fewer than five boys per year receive this name. The name's top states of use are unknown given its scarcity. Diontay appears to be a creative combination of the existing name Dion or Deon with the trendy suffix -tay, following a pattern seen in other modern coinages from the late 20th century. Its meaning is not traceable to any language or culture. Parents choosing Diontay today are likely drawn to its distinctive sound and modern feel.
