Diaana is Latin in Origin.

Diaana is a modern, embellished spelling of Diana, the Latin theonym of the Roman goddess of the moon, wild places, and childbirth. The name is commonly explained as "divine, heavenly, bright," linked to Latin divus "godlike" and ultimately to the Proto-Indo-European root dyeu, meaning "sky, daylight." Through the prestige of classical literature and later the Christian era, Diana traveled widely into European languages and beyond, retaining near-identical form in English, Italian, Spanish, and Romanian.

The doubled A in Diaana reflects contemporary stylistic trends toward distinctiveness or a marked long vowel, and is occasionally found in communities where doubled vowels indicate length. Related forms include Diana, Dianna, Diane (French), Dijana (South Slavic), Dyana, and Dayana/Daiana (Latin American). Diminutives include Di, Ana, and Didi. Usage of the base name surged in the 20th century, especially in the English-speaking world, with renewed visibility from Princess Diana of Wales in the 1980s and 1990s.
