Deyonna

Meaning of Deyonna

Deyonna dances off the tongue like a sunbeam drifting over tropical palms—a modern twist on the classic Latin name Diana, goddess of the moon and the hunt. With every soft “dee-YAH-nuh,” it conjures images of moonlight filtering through lush jungle canopies and salsa rhythms pulsing at sunset. First flickering onto U.S. name charts in 1979, Deyonna has waltzed in and out of the 800–900 rankings for decades, most recently landing at No. 952 in 2018 with five bright little stars proudly wearing the name. It carries a fierce yet feminine spirit, blending ancient mythology with contemporary flair—perfect for a girl destined to light up any room (and maybe even make the moon jealous).
