Dior
Meaning of Dior
Dior (pronounced DEE-or) began as a French surname—likely a nod to “d’or,” meaning “of gold”—and was catapulted into the global spotlight by legendary designer Christian Dior. Today, this sparkling two-syllable choice is stepping off the catwalk and into American nurseries as a stylish, unisex first name. Its golden roots whisper prosperity, while its fashion-house pedigree lends an air of creative flair that feels more playful than pretentious. Over the past decade Dior has inched steadily up the U.S. charts, even cracking the Top 500 in 2020, proof that modern parents love a touch of runway glitz that still passes the playground test. Short, bright, and unexpected, Dior offers a subtle wish for a life that shines—whether your little one’s future stage is Paris, the science fair, or the backyard lemonade stand.
