It's a male name, pronounced 'Deh'yan', dating back to the 11th century of a former Serbian Prince. It would behoove your research team to look into this. I have searched several search engines for the origin. My information is from a single source, an old Serbian history text from my father.

... or tells us something about the pronunciation...If it's De-ian, it might be a variation of the Slavic Deyan, meaning "one who is active", if it's De-zhan, it might ve coming from French...

Don't know the meaning, but..doesn't the name originate from the former Yugoslavia?
Possibly I'm confusing it with Deyan...But you could try lists of Serbian/Croatian names.
