What is the meaning of the name Digna ?

The baby name Digna is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: /ˈdiɡ.na/ (DEE-gna); English: /ˈdɪɡnə/ (DIG-nuh).

Digna is Latin in Origin.

Digna derives from Latin digna, the feminine form of dignus, meaning “worthy, deserving, honorable.” The name entered Christian onomastics via Ecclesiastical Latin and settled into Spanish as a straightforward virtue-name, with Italian Degna as a close cognate and Portuguese Digna appearing occasionally. Masculine counterparts include Spanish Digno and the Latin Dignus; all draw on the same semantic field of worth and dignity.

In use since the medieval period, Digna surfaces in Iberian parish registers and later in colonial records across Latin America and the Philippines, favored in devout families who selected names expressing Christian virtues. It remains rare but recognizable in Spanish-speaking communities and is sporadically found in Italy under the form Degna and in Dutch-language records where Latinized entries preserved the form Digna. Variant forms and short options include Degna (Italian) and the nicknames Dina or Di (by sound), while the meaning consistently highlights moral worth and honor.
