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.
