Diona is Greek in Origin.

Rooted in Greek, Diona is a modern feminine form related to Dione (Διώνη), a name tied to the element Dios, “of Zeus.” In myth, Dione is a Titaness and, in some traditions, the mother of Aphrodite; from this source Diona carries senses such as “divine one,” “goddess,” or “belonging to Zeus.” The name can also arise as a feminine of Dion - short for Dionysios - yielding the alternate reading “of Dionysus” or “follower of Dionysus.” Both derivations situate Diona firmly within the Hellenic theophoric naming tradition.

Usage is rare but steady in the modern era, seeing occasional adoption in English‑speaking countries and parts of Europe during the 20th and 21st centuries, especially amid myth‑inspired revivals. Variants and close relatives include Dione, Deona, Deonna, Dionna, and French‑influenced Dionne. It is sometimes mistaken for Diana, but that Latin name has a distinct origin and deity.
