The forename ديارا is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Mali, where it is quite a common boy's name, Mauritania, where it is quite a common predominantly male, but very seldom girly name, and Gabon, where it is quite a common male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Algeria. More frequently, ديارا is the last name as well as the forename.
