Dionis

Meaning

Dionis is a Romance-language form of the Greek name Dionysos/Dionysius, ultimately tied to the god Dionysus. The excerpted 19th-century sources place it among related forms such as Dionigi, Dionigio, and Dionis, and note it as the Spanish form. In Christian-name usage, it developed as a saintly and personal name rather than as a direct reference to the deity.

Origin

Fun fact

The excerpts note that Spanish uses Dionis, while Portuguese has Diniz for the same name family.
