Comments for the name Dena

Dena is an American Indian name that means Valley. It is also Hebrew and means Vindicated.

This is a Native American name meaning "OF THE PEOPLE".

My name is Dena and I was named after my father Ray Dean, which is special but I have to say I have never really loved my name. I can't see naming a newborn Dena. It just doesn't sound too cute.

This is an anagram of Edna.

Can be a Indian name! Variant of Dina. :) It means Sympathetic.

I didn't know that Dena was an Indian name. It's my name and I've always been told or shown that Dena was Hebrew for 'Of The Valley'. I have to agree with another commenter that I don't love or even like my name and have seriously thought of changing it.

Born in the 1980s my parents gave me this name. After sulking about my name I finally fulfilled my dream when I turned 18 and had my name legally changed. People called me weird for doing it, but that's to be expected when others never try to understand.
