Dayva is a rare modern feminine given name in English, most often viewed as a creative respelling of Lithuanian Daiva, a popular mid-20th‑century name interpreted as “fate” or “destiny.” Its sound also overlaps with Sanskrit/Indic deva and Tamil deiva (“divine, shining”), and with the English elements day + Ava, lending a bright, contemporary vibe. As a result, Dayva is typically read to evoke destiny, blessing, and daylight.
