A diva can refer to a female singer.

It can also be one of the following:

  • Diva has been used by gay men to describe each other in gay slang.
  • In current usage among the younger generation, the term diva is used to describe a talented and confident woman. "Divas Wanted" is a membership drive campaign initiated by Sweet Adelines International to appeal to that demographic.
  • A less flattering use of the term diva has come about in that the term is sometimes seen as interchangeable with the word bitch; that being a negative term to describe an unpleasant, demanding, and troublesome woman.
