Your little moonbeam deserves an equally vibrant name, which is where Dayana comes in. A beloved Spanish creation and oh-so-romantic, Dayana derives from the Latin Diana, a name borne by a goddess. In Roman mythology, Diana is a fertility deity and the goddess of the moon, the hunt, and wild animals, associated with the Greek goddess Artemis. The name aptly means “heavenly,” “divine,” “goddess,” “bright,” and “shining one,” complimenting your luminous little sprite sent to Earth from the stars.
