Demiana is from the Coptic Egyptian / Greek Demiana — feminine of Damianos (foundational Greek martyr-saint name). A modern American baby name in the broader Coptic Egyptian heritage aesthetic. Demiana is one of the foundational Coptic Egyptian feminine names — central to traditional Coptic Orthodox Christian heritage. Saint Demiana (3rd-4th c. CE) is the foundational Egyptian Coptic Orthodox virgin martyr — daughter of Mark of Belkina governor of foundational El-Borollos who converted under Emperor Diocletian persecution + foundational subject of foundational Sitt Demiana Monastery (foundational Bilqas, Daqahlia, Egypt — central to foundational annual Coptic pilgrimage to Sitt Demiana feast May 12) + foundational subject of foundational Coptic hymnody + iconography. Foundational Coptic feminine name reflecting Egyptian Orthodox heritage + the broader Coptic saintly-naming family alongside Marina, Mariam, Tasoni, Sidhom.
Featured throughout Coptic heritage.
Demiana does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Demiana reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
