History & Origin

Dayannara builds on Dayana, itself a Spanish form of Diana, and adds a flowing -ara close that recalls the ancient Greek Deianira. It appears in United States records only in the two-thousands.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high in the mid two-thousands. It reads as a lush, invented name in the Latina style of its era.

Did you know? The soap-opera fashion for lavish Spanish girls' names in the two-thousands helped popular coinages like Dayannara flourish for a season.
