History & Origin
Dyane restyles Diane with a y, a chic continental touch that turned a familiar name into something a little more distinctive. Diane itself was a mid-century favorite, and this variant traveled quietly alongside it.
The spelling stayed rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, while the standard Diane was everywhere. A woman named Dyane from the late nineteen-forties would be in her late seventies today. The y spelling gives the classic a subtly modern, French air.
