Meaning:Follower of Dionysos
Denny is a gender-neutral name meaning "follower of Dionysos," found across Scandinavia and English-speaking countries, but with roots in Ancient Greece. Not only was Dionysos, or Dionysius, a Greek god, but he was also a biblical figure who became the first bishop of Athens after his conversion to Christianity. In Greek mythology, Dionysos is known as the god of many things, including wine, vegetation, merriment, and theater. This more playful take on Dennis will offer your little one options from youth to their more mature years. While Denny may at first bring to mind the fast-food chain, the name has a pretty rich history and background for baby to embrace.
