some explanations are in order
Daivajna apparently is a synonym for Jyotish 0ne who deals with Astronomical and astrological matters.
So every person whose last name is a Daivajna is not necessarily related
still it remains an uncommon name. and all the daivajnas i have named are from
the Konkan region ( i said Gujarat but what do i know ) or on the north banks of the godavari in maharashtra.
If you have heard of a family called Daivajna from western India pl, have them contact me.
One possible thought is that they could have been saraswat brahmanas.
It appears that Aryabhata is also from the same region, which raises the interesting possibility that Aryabhata Ib (MY HUNCH is thst there were ar least 3 A) was also a saraswat Brahmana
