Dionie is Greek in Origin.

Dionie is a rare feminine name with Greek roots. It most often serves as an English diminutive of Dionisia/Dionysia (from Greek Dionysios), yielding the meaning 'follower of Dionysus,' the god of wine and ecstatic inspiration. It can also be read as an affectionate variant of Dione, the Titaness sometimes regarded as mother of Aphrodite; Dione is linked to Dios 'of Zeus,' giving the sense 'divine' or 'goddess'.

Used sporadically in the British Isles, Australia, and North America from the late 19th century onward, Dionie fits the -ie nickname trend while remaining uncommon. Notable cognates and variants include Dione, Dionne, Diona, Dionna, and Deonie; related longer forms are Dionisia/Dionysia, and cognates in wider use include French Denise and Denis (source of English Dennis), all ultimately from Dionysios. Masculine counterparts are Dion and Dionysius. Alternate spellings such as Dioni occur in modern Greek.
