DENNIS
'Dennis' is a male first name derived from the Greco-Roman name Dionysius meaning "servant of Dionysus", the Thracian god of wine, which is ultimately derived from the Greek Dios (Διος, "of Zeus") combined with Nysos or Nysa (Νυσα), where the young god was raised.
Alternative forms and spellings of the name include Denis, Denys, Deon, Deonne, Deonte, and Dion, Dionice. Diminutive forms include Den and Denny. The name Sydenie (alternate spellings: Sydney or Sidney) derives from a village in Normandy called Saint-Denis, and results in the diminutive forms Syd and Sid. A medieval diminutive was Dye, from which the names Dyson and Tyson are derived.
Denis is a very popular English, Irish, French, Russian, Bulgarian and Bosnian Muslim name.
Feminine versions of the name include: Denise, Denisa, Deni, Denice, Deniece, Dione, and Dionne.
