Meaning:Of Dionysos; Zeus of Nysa
With a name like Dionysius, happiness, fun, and joy will follow your little one wherever they go! A Latin variant of Dionysios, Dionysius finds its roots in Greek mythology and the tale of the god of wine-making, festivity, and theater- who was called Dionysos. While all these monikers may sound similar, they are distinct in spelling and meaning. Dionysius could simply mean “of Dionysos,” or perhaps it shares Dionysos' definition of “Zeus of Nysa.” Whether your little Dionysius has a future in the performing arts or in writing their own merry life story, every day will bring new reasons to celebrate.
