Etymology
Borrowed from en la-lat Diāna, short form of en la Dīāna, derived by syncope from en itc-ola Dīvāna, equivalent to la dīvus -āna 1; roughly akin to en itc-pro *deiwā goddess + en ine-pro *-nós *-néh₂.
Originally an Old Italic divinity of light and the moon; later identified as the Roman counterpart to Greek goddess Artemis. Cognate of grc-att Διώνη, similarly syncopated from older grc Διϝωνη, whence via la Diōne is derived en Dione used in various ways across astronomy, chemistry, biology, and as a given name. From the same root ine-pro *dyúh₃onh₂- also potentially cognate to en June via la Iūnō Jūnō.

Alternative forms

la Deana Iāna Jāna
Etymology
la Dī̆āna :from itc-ola:Dīvāna 1
Original form with long i la Dīāna, derived by syncope from la Dīvāna, equivalent to la dīvus -āna; some inscriptions read la Deiana or la Deana, akin to la deus -āna; both feminine stem words la dīva and la dea meaning “goddess” derived from la itc-ola deiva, from la itc-pro *deiwā from la ine-pro *deywós from ine-pro *dyew- heaven, day sky; to shine. See itc-ola Diēspiter, a primitive form of la Iuppiter, formed by appending a suffix to la diēs, cognate to both la dīvus and la deus.
Diana is also called la Iāna Jana, analogous to procope of itc-ola Diovis into la Iovis Jove.
The form la Dīviāna occurs in Varro's attempt to explain the etymology of the name, with the now-discredited explanation that "quod luna in altitudinem et latitudinem simul <i>t, Diviana, appellata"; the intention seems to be to derive the name from la dēviō stray, deviate, from la via road.Roland G. Kent T.E. Page, E. Capps, W. H. D.

Compare grc-att Δῐώνη, grc-dor Διώνᾱ, syncopated from grc Διϝωνᾱ, from a shared root, whence by analogical formation also evolved la Iūnō Iūnō(nis).
