Davianna
Meaning of Davianna
Davianna is a feminine neoclassical elaboration of the Hebrew personal name David—derived from the root dwd, “beloved”—to which the Latinate suffix –ana is appended, yielding a sonorously balanced appellation within Anglo-American naming conventions. Emerging in twentieth-century American birth registers, it has maintained a discreet yet steady presence; in 2024, for instance, fifteen newborns were recorded under this name, conferring upon it a rank of 935th nationally according to the Social Security Administration. Its phonological profile, transcribed /dɑːviˈænə/ and rendered as dah-vee-AHN-uh, exhibits a trochaic-iambic structure that aligns with prevalent patterns in English female names while preserving distinctiveness through its composite morphology. Semantically, Davianna encapsulates both the venerable connotations of its biblical predecessor and a contemporary impulse toward creative onomastic innovation, thereby offering a designation that is at once resonant with tradition and indicative of individual expressiveness.
