About Diane
Like Joanne and Christine, middle-aged Diane has been overshadowed by the a-ending version of her name. Diane has a definite mid-century feel; it was a Top 20 name from 1946 to 1959. Though it has several distinguished bearers, including Dianes Sawyer, Keaton, von Furstenberg, Lane, Arbus, Kruger and Farr, it fell off the Top 1000 in 2004 and last year was given to about 60 baby girls, the same number as Dillon and Eugenia.
Diane is also given to boys.
Pronounced dy-AN.
As of October 2026, Diane ranked #2620 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #14 in 1955, Nameberry popularity #264.
