Dyann is Latin in Origin.

Dyann is a modern English respelling of Diane/Dianne, the French form of Latin Diana, name of the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt. Etymologically tied to Latin divus "divine" and the Indo-European root for "shining sky," it carries meanings such as "divine," "heavenly," and by association "lunar/bright." As a given name, it inherits Diana's classical poise and protective, independent imagery.

Use of Diane blossomed in France after the Renaissance, helped by Diane de Poitiers, then spread to the English-speaking world, where Diane and Dianne peaked in the 1940s-60s. Dyann emerged in the same era as a creative Y-spelling and remains rare, mostly in North America, lending a distinctive twist with vintage charm. Close variants include Diane, Dianne, Diann, Dianna, Diana, Dyanna, Dyan, and Dyanne; diminutives and nicknames include Di and Dee.
