Re: Meaning of the first name "Diancy"
An educated guess would be that "Diancy" may possibly be a form of Denise , which is a French form of the feminization of the Greek name Dionysus . (click on the blue hyperlinks for meanings)There was a "Dionycia" recorded in the Feudal Aids registry in the year 1303, so "Diancy" may be a direct diminutive of that.-- Nanaea

"Dionycia" or "Dionysia" is actually a bona fide fem version of Dionysus , popular in both ancient and contemporary Greece.
