History & Origin
Dyanne is an ornamented spelling of Diane, itself the French form of Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt. The name is usually read as 'divine' or 'heavenly', from Latin divus. The 'y' and doubled 'n' gave Diane a more elaborate look.
It never rivaled Diane itself, peaking around 1948 at only a few dozen girls a year and fading afterward. It reads today as a mid-century spelling variant rather than a mainstream or revived name.
