Divah is English in Origin.
Divah is a modern English given name, likely a creative respelling of Diva (Italian "diva," meaning "goddess; celebrated female singer"), ultimately from Latin divus "divine." It may also echo South Asian names such as Deva and Divya (Sanskrit "deity; divine, luminous"), giving Divah a broadly "divine"/"radiant" sense. Far less commonly, it can overlap with the Hebrew transliteration Dibah (דיבה), a biblical word meaning "report" or "rumor," though this is not a traditional personal name. Related variants include Diva, Deva, Divya, Devah, Deeva, and Diba.
As a given name, Divah is contemporary, with usage in English-speaking countries rising in the late 20th and early 21st centuries alongside the pop-culture meaning of "diva." The final -h lends a softer, vintage inflection seen in names like Sarah and Norah while preserving the sleek, two-syllable sound. Parents choose Divah for its bold glamour balanced with an explicitly "divine" etymology.
Divah is far from common. We have only 65 recorded uses of it on record, from 13 countries.
