Origin of Denni Total Records: 2  Origin of Denni, Meaning of Denni Origin: It is possible that surname Denny is an English derivative of the French name Denis. The patron saint of France is Saint Denis, pronounced de-n?' (no ?s?), who in the third century was sent by the Pope to minister to the Gauls as the first bishop of Paris. As a martyr he was decapitated and in reverence for him, many took his name as Denis or Dennis. If read by the English and (much later) the Americans the ?s? was pronounced. To keep this from happening, some families re-spelled Denis to Denny. Surnames: Denis, Denney, Dennis, Denny Submitted by: Moses A.
