Diana

2 syllablesTrend: flat

Roman goddess of the hunt and moon, from PIE dyew, 'divine'

Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and untamed places — the virgin huntress who ran with stags and refused Jupiter's suitors. Her name likely traces to the Proto-Indo-European dyew, the same root as Latin dies (day) and divus (divine). The name has worn many crowns since: Princess Diana of Wales, Diana Ross on a Motown stage, Diana Prince pulling her lasso from a silver bracer. It held a steady spot in the American top 200 for most of the twentieth century. Three syllables, a clean spine of vowels. Mythic, moonlit, and entirely at ease.
