Diann
Respelling of Diane, the French form of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt and the moon, whose name comes from an old root meaning heavenly or divine.
Diann in 2025
Diann was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Diann has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Diann
Diann reached its highest point in 1947, when 557 babies were given the name, ranking 623rd that year.
Across the 102 years of records since 1924, 12,252 babies have been named Diann. Half of them were born before 1953, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Baby Boomers.
