Denisa Origin and Meaning

The name Denisa is a girl's name of Czech, Romanian origin meaning "god of Nysa".

Denisa is a variation of Denis, the Old French name for the Greek god of wine and debauchery, Dionysus. Familiar in its native Czechia, Slovakia, and Romania, Denisa may be a slightly sparkier way to honor a family Dennis if you don't love the 60s favorite, Denise.

In Czech, the name is said as DEH-nih-sa, while in Romanian it is pronounced as deh-NEE-sa. In Slovak, it is similar to the Romanian pronunciation, but with the emphasis on the first syllable.
