Destani
Meaning of Destani
Destani springs from the same Latin root as Destiny—the old “destinare,” meaning “to determine” or “to destine”—and then she sashays through the air with a flamenco flair that tastes like sunshine on the tongue. She’s Destiny’s chic cousin who decided to sprinkle in a dash of Spanish spice, conjuring images of twilight fiestas and stars winking above cobblestone plazas. Rare but radiant, Destani first tiptoed onto the US baby charts in the early ’80s (five bold declarations in 1983), then hovered around the 770s and 800s through the decades, surged to ten newborns at rank 934 in 2019, and glimmered again with five arrivals at rank 942 in 2021. Each little Destani arrives pledged to purpose, carrying a spark of hope that shimmers like lanterns lighting up a tropical night—a perfect pick for parents craving a name that dances between determination and destiny.
