History & Origin
Deyanna is a modern American coinage in the Deanna and Dayana family, a De- fronted name finished with a lyrical -anna. Deanna descends from Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt, so the sound has a graceful lineage even though Deyanna itself is invented. It appears in United States records from the mid-1980s and reached its faint high in the early 2000s.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Deyanna from that high would be a young adult now. It reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a revival, and parents drawn to it also like Dayana and Deanna.
