A choice very different to Oxford and Cambridge's words of the year, which were 'brain rot' and 'manifest', respectively. 'Dana' is also one of the additions to the Spanish dictionary in December of last year, when 4074 updates were made to the RAE, including loan words ( espóiler, sérum, fitness, rapear ), expressions and removals.
