Insights
Today, Dennis is an uncommon name (popularity 64/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
The name Dennis is derived from the Greek name Dionysios, which means 'follower of Dionysus,' the Greek god of wine, fertility, and revelry. The name was later Latinized as Dionysius and became popular in Christian contexts due to Saint Denis, a 3rd-century martyr and patron saint of France. The name spread throughout Europe and evolved into various forms, including Dennis in English.
