Deanah Origin and Meaning

Deanah is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Dinah or Dana. The biblical Dinah was Jacob's daughter in the Book of Genesis, and the name derives from Hebrew meaning 'judged' or 'vindicated.' This particular spelling adds a contemporary twist to the traditional name while maintaining its classic roots. Deanah emerged likely in the mid-to-late 20th century when alternative spellings became more common. The name has a gentle, melodic sound and projects both strength and femininity.

Its biblical connection provides cultural depth, while the unique spelling gives it a distinctive quality that sets it apart from more common variants.
