Encourage baby to become a trailblazer with this beautiful girl's name. Deana means "church leader” or "valley," so don't be surprised if little Deana has hidden depths. It's a variant of several names, including Deanna and Dena. All three titles derive from Dean, an Old English occupational name for a faith leader. Deana is also related to the Latin name Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt known for her beauty and for being Wonder Woman's namesake. Artemis is her closest equivalent in the Greek pantheon, adding some context to Deana's meaning of "divine."
