Dayna is commonly viewed as a variant of Dana (English "Dane; from Denmark"), but also aligns with Hebrew-rooted senses of "judge" (from dan/din; cf. Daniel, Dayan), the Baltic Daina "song, folk hymn," and Irish Gaelic dána "bold." Together, the name suggests images of a bold or songful spirit set in a meadow.
