Deena
de(e)-na
US Popularity:8107
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Divine, goddess-like; Valley; Dean
Deena, as a girl's name, is related to Deanna, the Latin Diana, and the Old English Dean. Deana and Diana have various meanings, like “divine” and “goddess-like”—some glowing attributes that this new addition is sure to encompass. The translations “valley” and “dean” stem from two versions of Dean, both last names, originally. Deena was at the height of popularity in the late 60s and early 70s but has taken quite a fall since. Maybe this little one will be the one to see the trend take off once more?
