Dion Origin and Meaning

The name Dion is a boy's name of French, Greek origin meaning "child of heaven and earth; of Zeus".

A variation of Greek Dionysius, itself derived from the name of the god of wine, revelry, and dance, Dion gives a nod to mythology while also having historical ties to a student of Plato, to a Greek mathematician and to 1st century writer and historian.

As a contemporary name, it came into popular use in the late 1950s and remained in the Top 1000 until 2006. It has dipped in and out of the charts since then, and is still given to a not insignificant 200 boys each year.

Now a rising choice in the UK and familiar in The Netherlands, it could also be considered a celebrity surname name, as inspired by singer Celine Dion.
