Dionicio

Meaning of Dionicio

Dionicio traces its roots to the ancient Greek name Dionysius, passing through Latin into Spanish as Dionicio. The name’s literal association—“devotee of Dionysus”—evokes the mythological god of wine, festivity and transformation, while in Catholic tradition it honors early Christian martyrs bearing the same root. In Spanish-speaking communities Dionicio (pronounced dee-oh-NEE-see-oh) reflects a blend of classical heritage and Iberian flair. In the United States it has remained rare, registering fewer than twenty births annually since 2020 and holding a Social Security rank near 900, underscoring its understated distinctiveness. Parents seeking a melodic name with deep cultural resonance may find in Dionicio a concise link between ancient myth and modern identity.
