Origin:French
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:Follower of Dionysos; Zeus of Nysa
Dennes is a gender-neutral name that follows in the footsteps of Denis, Dennis, and Denise. Like these three monikers, Dennes stems from Denys, the medieval French form of the Greek title Dionysius. Meaning "follower of Dionysos," Dennes honors the Greek god of festivity, wine, and pleasure, Dionysos. The son of Zeus and Princess Semele of Thebes, Dionysos was raised on Mount Nysa, a location that inspired his name's definition, "Zeus of Nysa." While unassuming in sound and spelling, Dennes has immense Greek mythology connections. It may also represent the importance of celebrating and having fun, two activities you and your little one will regularly partake in!
