Origin and meaning of Diana
Diana is of Latin origin, linked to the root dius, 'divine, heavenly'. In Roman mythology she is the goddess of the moon, the hunt and childbirth, a symbol of independence and wild purity. The name thus joins moonlight with feminine strength. Common in Italy, Spain, the English-speaking world and far beyond, it has a noble, timeless allure. The memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, has renewed its popularity and affection worldwide.
