Denis

Denis is a masculine given name derived from the ancient Greek name Dionysios, meaning 'follower of Dionysus', the god of wine and fertility.

The name has its roots in Greek mythology and was originally associated with the cult of Dionysus, a major deity in ancient Greek religion and one of the most prominent figures in Greek mythology.

Denis gained popularity as a Christian name due to its association with Saint Denis, a 3rd-century Christian martyr and the patron saint of France.

Today, the name Denis is widely used in various cultures and languages, particularly in French, English, and Slavic-speaking countries.
