HelpRe: Masculine or Feminine?
in reply to a message by kookiemonster71
I've never heard of Dionis / Dionys before. But I'd be very surprised if it weren't related to Dionysia, a favorite of mine. I pronounce Dionysia as, "dee-uh-NEE-see-uh," but I've also heard "die-uh-NIE-see-uh."
Dionysius is also related. ("die-uh-NIE-see-us" or "dee-uh-NEE-see-us")
They all are original forms of Denis / Dennis / Denise, I believe.
To answer your original question, I'd guess that Dionis / Dionys was masculine. But that's a total guess.

I was guessing masculine too and most others seem to agree. I was thinking dee AHN iss (end part rhymes with Adonis) for the pronunciation.
I agree that it is probably related to the other Dion- names.
If I used it, Dion (dee AHN) would be a nn possibility.
Drewell (Drew) , Donovan, and Dionis (Dion) do go well togehter I think.
