History & Origin
Destanie respells Destiny, the word-name for one's appointed future, from the Latin destinare, 'to make firm, determine.' Part of a wave of modern virtue-names, Destiny drew several ornamental spellings, of which Destanie is one. It reached its high point in 1998.
A Destanie from the peak is now in her mid-twenties. The spelling dates her to the late '90s; Destiny is the standard form, and this variant reads as a period stylization rather than a revival.
