Where it comes from

An anglicization of French Diane, from Latin Diāna. Doublet of Diana

proper noun Dianes

A female given name from Latin, popular in the middle of the 20th century Oddly enough, there was a woman involved. I remember nothing about her except her name: Diane. It was an improbable name in connection with Bertie, particularly in the wilds of Kent. However, Diane was there.
