What is the meaning of the name Denne ?

The baby name Denne is a Unisex name , 12 syllables long and is pronounced /dɛn/ or /ˈdɛni/ ("DEN" or "DEN-ee").

Denne is English in Origin.

Denne is a rare given name with two overlapping roots. As an English surname-turned-forename, it comes from Middle English dene, from Old English denu "valley," identifying someone who lived in a valley or at a place called Denne (notably in Kent). In that line, the name conveys the landscape sense "valley dweller." It can also be read as a streamlined spelling of Denny, the pet form of Dennis/Denis, ultimately from Greek Dionysios, "devotee of Dionysus."

Used in Britain and North America since the 19th century amid the surname-name fashion, Denne has been borne chiefly by men but works as unisex today. Variants and related forms include Denny, Denney, Dene, and Den; broader cognates are Dennis, Denis, Denys, and Hungarian Dénes, with feminine counterparts Denise, Denyse, and Denée/Denee. Short forms include Den and Denny.
