Dayna
A girls’ name with no widely documented etymology — two syllables, given to 38 babies a year in the US.
Dayna by the numbers
In 2025, 4 babies in England and Wales were named Dayna. In the US, 38 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 361 babies in 1988, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
