History & Origin

Diahn is a rare respelling of Diane, itself the French form of Diana. In Roman religion Diana was goddess of the moon, the hunt, and wild places, and her name is traced to an ancient root for 'heavenly' or 'divine'. The unusual -ahn spelling keeps the classic sound while setting the name apart on paper.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year in the mid-1960s and rare after. A woman named Diahn from then is now in her sixties, of the peak Diane generation.

Did you know? The silent h in Diahn changes only the look, not the sound, of Diane, a name that reaches back to the Roman goddess of the moon.
