The Story of Dianna

Dianna is a variant spelling of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, moon, and nature. The name derives from the Latin 'diviana' or 'deus' meaning divine or heavenly. Diana was one of the most venerated Roman deities, the equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis. The double 'n' spelling Dianna distinguishes it from the more common Diana while maintaining identical pronunciation.

Diana has been popular throughout European history. The double-n spelling Dianna appeared as a distinctive variant in the mid-20th century United States. The name is forever associated with Princess Diana (1961-1997), though the Princess herself used the single-n form.

Diana is the Roman goddess of the hunt and moon, patron of women and childbirth. The name carries both divine classical associations and, in modern memory, the legacy of Princess Diana, the 'People's Princess' whose humanitarian work and tragic death made her one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century.
