This could have two meanings. Navajo "Holy People", Diyin Dine'é, are spiritual beings in address in ceremonies and featured in the creation stories.
Navajo traditional priests/ healers/ philosophers (sometimes called medicine men) are called Hataałii. This means chanter or singer in Navajo. They lead Navajo ceremonies and blessings. There are about 60 chantway ceremonies and most Hataałii specialize in two or three. It takes about ten to twelve years to apprentice to learn a ceremony by heart. No notes or recordings are allowed. They are still very active today with many ceremonies each year performed on the Navajo Nation. Some of them even have an association with a website. There is the Dine' Hataaiii Association , Dine Medicine Men Association and Diné Spiritual and Cultural Association.
There are also people who diagnose what kind of ceremony one needs. These are called hand-tremblers, ndilniihiior crystal-gazers or déest'į́į́',stargazers, déest'į́į́'áshłééh or listeners, íists'ą́ą́'áshłééh

Traditional Navajo names are completely different. You can't really translate English names to them at all. The Latin meaning of Deanna is divine or holy so it could be Diyin At'ééd, holy girl. That is not a really Navajo name though. Some traditional Navajo girl names are :Ádeezbaa'((she is going to lead a raid), Átsé Deezba (She is going first on a raid), Dlį́baa (Warrior Girl), Naazbaaa'(she went on a raid), or Asdzą́ą́łtsoii (yellow woman), and Ashiike Naakii ( the one with twin boys)
What are the roles of the desert southwest children men and women?
Men and women did different jobs in Navajo society. Navajo men were hunters, warriors and political leaders. Only men were chiefs in the Navajo tribe. Navajo women were farmers, tended livestock, and also did most of the child care and cooking. Even artwork was separated by gender. Men made jewelry, and women wove rugs and sculpted clay pots. Both genders did take part in storytelling, music, and traditional medicine. Today, many of these gender roles have changed. Navajo men are often farmers and ranchers now... and Navajo women join the Army.
