What is the meaning of the name Dayana ?

The baby name Dayana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /deɪˈɑːnə/ (DAY-AH-nuh); Spanish/Arabic: /daˈjana/ (da-YAH-nah).

Dayana is in Origin.

Dayana is a Spanish- and Portuguese-influenced form of Diana, ultimately from Latin and the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt. The name carries the sense of “divine” or “heavenly,” from the Indo-European root for the shining sky. Spelled with y, Dayana reflects phonetic spellings popular in Latin America and the Caribbean; it is also found across the Arabic-speaking world as the common rendering of Diana in Arabic script.

Usage rose worldwide in the late 20th century, boosted by the fame of Diana, Princess of Wales, mass media, and telenovela characters; the Dayana form gained particular traction in Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia, and among Hispanic families in the United States. Variants include Daiana (Spanish/Portuguese), Dayanna (emphatic double n), Dayane and Daiane (Brazilian Portuguese), alongside the core forms Diana and Dianna. Common short forms are Daya, Dai, and Yana.
