Diana

Diana is a Latin name derived from the root dīus or divus, meaning divine or heavenly, and is closely related to the name of the Roman sky god Jupiter (from Diespiter) and to the word deus, god. In Roman religion, Diana was the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and wild nature, revered as a virgin deity and protector of women in childbirth, and her cult center at Aricia was among the oldest in the region. The name spread throughout Europe with Roman influence and remained in continuous use through the medieval and Renaissance periods, enjoying renewed popularity in the early modern era partly through classical literary fashion. Cognates and related forms include Diane, the French variant widely used in English-speaking countries, as well as Deanna and Dyan.
