I was tagged by LaTara  
because she wants to know the meaning of my name.

First let me say, I’ve always loved my name – and I did spell it Dyana for a couple years when I was about 15.

Well here it is.
My name is: Diana
Diana is derived from either an Indo-European root meaning “divine,” or from the Latin “diviana”.  Diana was the Roman goddess of the moon who eventually took on the huntress identity of the Greek goddess Artemis.  Diana was a patron of virgins, forests, and hunters.
It means: not applicable
Origin:   Indo-European or Latin
I am tagging:

    I love the name Diana! One of my favorite people was Princess Diana because she handled everything with such grace….hence the meaning:)
    You too are a divine individual.

    I love the name Diana! I have an Aunt Dianna (spelling different on purpose). She’s always been one of my favorite aunts.
