Spelling variation of Danica with a modern update.

Dennes is a masculine name that likely originated as a variant spelling of Dennis or Denis. These names derive from Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater. The more common form, Dennis, came through the Latin Dionysius and was popularized through St. Denis, a 3rd-century bishop of Paris and patron saint of France. Pronounced DEN-is or DEN-ees, this variation with the double 'n' and 'es' ending gives the classic name a slightly different look while maintaining its traditional sound. Dennes is considerably rarer than Dennis, making it an uncommon choice that still feels familiar. The name carries connotations of resilience and spiritual dedication through its saintly connections while maintaining its ancient Greek roots.
