Deeann

Deeann is an English combination name blending Dee and Ann, both of which have independent roots. Dee originated as a short form of names beginning with the letter D, such as Diana or Dorothy, while Ann derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning grace or favor. The combined form follows a mid-twentieth-century American naming trend of joining two familiar feminine elements into a single given name. Related forms include Deanna, Deeanne, and DiAnn.
