What a sound-based name means

Characters in Diana's standard spelling are chosen to match how the name sounds, so their dictionary meanings are mostly neutral. That is normal for foreign names written in Chinese. It is also why many people want a second name: one that sounds close to Diana and carries a meaning they would be happy to wear.

A meaning-led name starts from the sound of Diana, then picks characters for qualities like calm, bright or brave, and checks the result for awkward sound-alikes. Your Chinese zodiac animal and element can also guide the choice of characters.
