What is the meaning of the name Diana ?

The baby name Diana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /daɪˈænə/ (dye-AN-uh).

Diana is Latin in Origin.

Diana is a Latin name rooted in the epithet of the Roman goddess of the moon, the hunt, and childbirth. Etymology links it to Latin divus “divine” and to the Proto-Indo-European root *dyeu- (“shine, sky, day”), yielding senses like “divine,” “heavenly,” and “luminous.” In Roman religion Diana paralleled the Greek Artemis, reinforcing associations with chastity, wild nature, and protective motherhood.

Use of the given name appears in late medieval Italy and France, expanded during the Renaissance’s classical revival, and entered sustained English use from the 16th century. It flourished in the 20th century across Europe and the Americas, with a major boost from Diana, Princess of Wales. International variants include Diane (French/English), Dianna and Dianne (English), Dijana (South Slavic), Daiana and Dayana (Romance/LatAm forms). Common short forms are Di and Ana.
