History & Origin
Diania is an elaborated form of Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon, the hunt, and childbirth, whose name derives from a Latin root meaning 'divine' or 'heavenly'. The added '-ia' gives it a softer, more romantic tail.
It appears in tiny numbers around the late 1950s, only a few dozen girls a year at its 1957 high, part of the mid-century play with Diana's spelling. It reads as a dreamy variant rather than a distinct tradition.
