What is the meaning of the name Dyonisios ?

The baby name Dyonisios is a Male name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced dee-oh-NEE-see-os (IPA: /di.oˈni.si.os/).

Dyonisios is Greek in Origin.

Dyonisios is a contemporary transliteration of the Ancient Greek Dionysios (Διονύσιος), a theophoric name meaning “of/following Dionysus,” the Greek god of wine, theatre, and ecstatic liberation. The underlying theonym Dionysos is commonly analyzed as dios (“of Zeus”) + Nysa, the mythic mountain where the god was reared, yielding a sense of “the Zeus of Nysa.”

Attested from classical Greece through the Byzantine era, the name appears in Latinized form Dionysius for the tyrants of Syracuse and for numerous saints, foremost Dionysius the Areopagite and the martyred bishop of Paris, later venerated as St. Denis. Through church tradition it spread across Europe, yielding forms such as Dionysios (Greek), Dionysius (Latin), Dionisios, Dionisio (Italian/Spanish), Dionísio and Dinis (Portuguese), Denis/Denys/Dennis (French, Ukrainian, English), and Slavic Dionisiy. Feminine counterparts include Dionysia and Dionisia; a related modern Greek form is Dionysis (Διονύσης).
