History & Origin

Diannie takes the well-worn Dianne and softens it with the affectionate -ie ending common in the nineteen-fifties. Behind it stands Diana, the Roman moon goddess, a name tied to the Latin sense of divine or heavenly. Diannie was always a minor, homey variant rather than a mainstream choice.

Diannie was rare across its run, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high point in the late nineteen-fifties, and it slipped away by the nineteen-seventies. A girl named Diannie then would be in her late sixties today.

Did you know? Diana and Dianne were mid-century staples, and Diannie was the coaxing, nickname-style version a family might use at home before it occasionally landed on a birth certificate.
