Deanna

Deanna is an English feminine name that arose as an elaborated form of Dean, itself derived from the Old English word denu, meaning valley. It may also have developed as a variant of Diana, the Latin name of the Roman goddess of the moon and hunting, blending both influences in its modern usage. The name gained widespread popularity in the mid-twentieth century, boosted in part by Canadian singer and actress Deanna Durbin. Related forms include Deana and Diana.
