History & Origin

Dianni is a modern spelling with no recorded source. Its opening recalls Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt and the moon, whose name is usually traced to an old root meaning 'heavenly, divine'; its ending recalls Italian names like Gianni. Neither link is documented for this exact form, so routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'dee-AH-nee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, lilting, and modern.

Did you know? Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt, the wild and the moon - and Dianni gives her name an Italian-flavoured ending without a documented line back to it.
