Dione

Dione is a Greek girl’s name and means “goddess.” It is derived from the Ancient Greek Diṓnē who was considered the mother of Aphrodite, according to Book 5 of Homer’s Iliad. There’s no doubt that you will see immaculate qualities in your new arrival, making this a fitting title for them to bear. Dione might also have West African roots from the name of the Diané clan of the Soninke people, deriving from the Soninke word jaane, which means “whip.” Whether you have ties to this region or anticipate baby Dione being as smart as a whip, there’s plenty for your little one to love about their name.
