A lamp, light, or candle
Diyan is primarily derived from Sanskrit roots meaning a lamp or light, symbolizing enlightenment and clarity. In some Slavic contexts, it is also used as a variant of names like Dian, potentially linked to the Roman divine root. It is a rare choice in the United States, offering a cross-cultural appeal with a bright, positive meaning.
