Dionn is Greek in Origin.
Dionn is a modern respelling of Dion, ultimately from Greek Dionysios. The root combines Dios "of Zeus" with Nysa, the mythical mountain where Dionysus was raised; thus the name means "follower of Dionysus" or "belonging to Zeus." As a given name it functions as unisex in contemporary English, though traditionally masculine.
Dion was used in the Hellenistic world as a short form of Dionysios and resurfaced in medieval Europe through the cult of Saint Dionysius (Denis). In the Anglophone world it gained fresh currency in the 20th century via performers such as Dion DiMucci and athletes, with African-American usage popularizing creative spellings. Dionn likely reflects a desire to distinguish Dion or to echo the feminine Dionne. Related forms and variants include Dion, Deon, Deion, Dyon; and feminine counterparts Dione, Dionne, Dionna, Deonne. The name carries lively, celebratory associations from the wine god.
