Deianira

The name of Hercules' third wife in Greek mythology, who unwittingly killed her demigod husband by giving him a poisoned shirt. Hence the meaning. Dayanara -- as in "Orange is the New Black" character Diaz and Puerto Rican beauty Torres -- may be a distant relation.

Pronounced day-uh-NY-ruh.

As of October 2026, Deianira ranked #15734 in US births in 2009 SSA, peaked at #7173 in 1995.
