Dionta is in Origin.

Dionta is a modern American given name, most common in African-American communities. It likely arose as a phonetic variant of Dionte/Deonte - names built on Dion (a short form of Greek Dionysios, “of Dionysus; follower of Dionysus”) with an -te/-ta ending popular in contemporary naming. Some bearers also connect it to Donte/Dante, ultimately from Italian Durante, “enduring,” so the name is understood either through the Dionysian or the Dante line depending on family tradition.

Documented mainly from the late 20th century in the United States, Dionta remains uncommon but familiar through sports and local records. Usual pronunciation is dee-ON-tah. Close variants and related forms include Dionte, Diontae, Deonte, Deontae, Deonta, Deontay, Deionte, Diante, Donte, and Donta. Because it is a modern formation rather than a classical given name, spelling varies widely, and meaning is typically interpreted by reference to its root - either “follower of Dionysus” or “enduring.”
