Origin and meaning of Dionigi
Dionigi is the Italian form of the Greek Dionýsios, 'devoted to Dionysus', the god of wine, the vine and ecstasy. The name blends vitality with ancient sacredness. Christian tradition remembers several saints, among them Saint Denis, first bishop of Paris and martyr, patron of France. Today it is rare and old-fashioned in Italy, while abroad it survives as Denis, Dionisio and the Greek Dionysios.
