Dennis is the English form of Denis, from the Greek Dionysius; numerology gives it an 11, the number of fine intuition.
The 11 gives a Dennis a fine intuition, an ear for moods and the wish to hold to demanding standards.
Spotting in a conversation the sentence that bothers, the one nobody picks up on.
Judging yourself a failure during the quiet weeks, for lack of a big idea to carry.
Dennis is the usual English, German and Dutch form of Denis.
Denis, in turn, is the medieval French form of Dionysius, a Greek name linked to the god Dionysus. Saint Denis was a missionary of the 3rd century to Gaul and the first bishop of Paris, and legend says he picked up his own severed head and walked on, preaching. He is the patron saint of France. The name was common in medieval France, and the Normans took it to England.
Dennis reaches 29 across six letters, and the sum ends on 11, which is not reduced further.
That number belongs to intuition. A Dennis often hears what is meant rather than what is said, reads the tone of a table and can be unexpectedly moved by a song or a quiet word. He tends to ask more of himself than of others.
E and I, the vowels, come to 14, then 5; the inner drive wants freedom and change: new places, new skills, a feeling that there is room ahead. The consonants D, N, N and S make 15 and 6, and the way he acts is caring and dutiful. He looks after his own, often without being asked.
A 4, the D, starts the name and lends a calm, reliable manner. Then E, worth 5, brings liveliness: a surprise draws out curiosity and flexibility.
Intuition, freedom and care make a sensitive profile that is also active, sometimes torn between ideal and possible. A surname and a birthday will add the rest.
In 2025, Dennis ranked No. 478 among boys’ names in England and Wales.

D 4 + E 5 + N 5 + N 5 + I 9 + S 1 = 29 → 11
D 4 + E 5 + N 5 + N 5 + I 9 + S 1 = 29 → 11
