Dajana is in Origin.
Dajana is a South Slavic and Polish feminine given name, a phonetic adaptation of Latin Diana. Through Diana's cult, it evokes the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt; etymologically it is linked to the Indo-European root dyeu- "sky, daylight", giving senses such as "divine", "heavenly", and "luminous".
The form Dajana reflects the Slavic use of j to mark the y sound and came into wider use across the Balkans (Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia) and in Poland in the 20th century, with peaks in the late 1980s-1990s alongside international interest in Diana/Dayana. Common equivalents and cognates include Dijana (South Slavic), Diana (international), Dayana (Spanish), Daiana (Portuguese, esp. Brazil), Dianna and Dyana (English variants). Short forms such as Daja occur in several languages. Overall, the name blends classical heritage with modern, cross-cultural appeal.
