The Spanish given-name entry derives Dayana from an English Diana reading. Diana has Latin divine/goddess ancestry, with an older reconstructed day-sky or shining root. This is historical word ancestry, not a literal claim that a child is a deity. Roman moon and hunt associations describe Diana culturally; they are not substituted as a universal literal meaning for Dayana. The suggested song influence remains tentative.
