Its use rose in the mid-20th century alongside the Diane/Diana boom in the United States and abroad, and it gained pop-culture visibility through actress Dyan Cannon; it also appears in the Philippines and other Anglophone communities. Related forms include Diane, Dianne, Diann, Dian, Dianna, Dyann, Dyane, and the pan-European Diana (plus Dijana and Daiana). Common diminutives are Di and Dee. Overall, Dyan offers a sleek, modern look to a venerable classical name.
