What is the meaning of the name Daian ?

The baby name Daian is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdeɪ.ən/ (DAY-ən) or /ˈdaɪ.ən/ (DYE-ən).

Daian is Romanian in Origin.

Daian is a multicultural given name with several plausible roots. In Hebrew/Aramaic, Dayan means "judge," a title for a rabbinic jurist; Spanish Dayan (often noted with an acute accent on the a) and simplified Daian adapt this as a given name in Latin America. In Japanese, Daian can be written with kanji meaning "great peace," an auspicious term from the traditional rokuyo calendar. In Lusophone and Hispanophone settings, Daian also serves as a phonetic variant of Diane/Diana, tied to the Roman moon goddess and the idea "divine, heavenly".

Late-20th-century usage rose with global exposure to Diane/Diana and Brazilian naming trends that produced Daiane/Daiana. Variants and related forms include Dayan (also Dayán), Daiane, Daiana, Dayana, Diane, and Diana; nickname Dai. Unisex in modern practice, with gender and spelling varying by language.
