Raise a glass to the arrival of your newest little love! Denisse is a feminine name of French and Greek origin, meaning “follower of Dionysius.” In Greek mythology, Dionysius is the god of wine, the orchards, and festivity, among other things. Denisse is also a variation of the ever-popular girl’s name Denise but has more of a French feel. This name has risen in popularity in recent times, possibly because of Denisse Novoa, who featured on the popular TV show Exatlón Estados Unidos. Some other notable namesakes include singer Denisse Guerrero and journalist Denisse Oller.
