Dayhana is a modern Spanish-influenced feminine given name, most often understood as a creative orthographic variant of Dayana/Daiana, themselves derived from Latin Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt. Through Diana, the name is connected to Latin divus/dius "divine, heavenly," ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root dyeu- "sky, daylight." In Spanish, the inserted h is silent and serves to distinguish the spelling without altering pronunciation (approx. dai-AH-na).

Usage of Dayhana is concentrated in Latin America and Hispanic communities from the late 20th century onward, rising alongside the popularity of Diana/Dayana following Princess Diana's global fame and later figures such as Venezuelan model Dayana Mendoza. Noted short forms include Daya, Dayi, and Yana. Close variants and cognates: Dayana, Daiana, Dayanna, Diana, Dianna; rarer spellings include Daihana. The name carries associations of brightness, independence, and lunar imagery via its Diana heritage.
