Proud ruler or follower of Dionysus
Donis is a rare name with dual potential origins. It is often considered a variant of the Greek name Dionysius, the god of wine and revelry, or a shortened form of the Celtic-derived Donald, meaning 'proud ruler'. In some cultures, it also appears as a patronymic surname used as a given name.
