The name of the Roman goddess of hunting, light and birth was given to three different grape varieties (Germany, Bulgaria, USA). Diana is also synonymous with the Tihany variety.

Bulgaria - (Bicane x Krivalja Bijela) x Cardinal

The white grape variety is a new cross between (Bicane x Krivalja Bijela) x Cardinal. The cross was made in 1966 in Bulgaria by the breeders Mincjo Kondarev and N. Matevska. It is mainly used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

Germany - Silvaner x Müller-Thurgau

The white grape variety is a new variety (also Geilweilerhof 30N-8-127) between Silvaner x Müller-Thurgau. It was crossed by dMorio (1887-1960), Bernhard Husfeld (1900-1970) and Gerhardt Alleweldt (1927-2005) at Geilweilerhof. It was a crossing partner for the Regent variety.
