Dennie Origin and Meaning

The name Dennie is a boy's name.

Dennie is a masculine name that functions as a diminutive form of Dennis or Denis. These parent names derive from the Greek name Dionysios, meaning 'of Dionysius,' the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater. The name traveled through Latin as Dionysius before evolving into various forms across Europe. Dennie has a friendly, approachable quality that maintains masculinity while adding a touch of informality. Popular during the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom, Dennie has since declined in usage but retains a classic, unpretentious charm. The name balances traditional roots with an affable character, making it appeal to parents seeking a name that feels both familiar and somewhat uncommon.
