Diana by the numbers
In 2025, 165 babies in England and Wales were named Diana. In the US, 1,358 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
It is used at about the same rate on both sides of the Atlantic.
Its American peak was 9,426 babies in 1957, so it is a 1950s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1945, about 1 in 220 American girls born that year was called Diana.
