Denney is in Origin.

Denney is an English surname-turned-given name. As a forename it stems from Denny, the medieval pet form of Dennis/Denis, carried into English via Old French Denis from Latin Dionysius, ultimately Greek Dionysios, meaning "devoted to (the god) Dionysus." The surname Denney/Denny also arose independently in Britain: it can be habitational from the Scottish town of Denny, or topographic from Middle English dene/Old English denu "valley" combined with Old English eg "island/river-meadow," yielding the sense "valley island" or "meadow by the river."

Used in Britain since the Middle Ages through the cult of St. Denis, the name resurfaced in the 19th-20th centuries as a surname-first name in the United States and Commonwealth. It is primarily masculine but occasionally unisex. Variant spellings and cognates include Denny, Deny, Deni, Denis, Denys, and Dennis; short forms include Den or Denny.
