Meaning and characteristics of the name Denise

In Western culture, the name Denise is a derivative of the male forms Denis/Denise – Dionysius, which appeared as votive names-dedications to the Greek god of wine, Dionysus. Therefore, for Europe, the name Denise means “dedicated to Dionysus.” In Eastern culture, Deniz is the Turkic word for “sea.” From Turkish it is translated as “sea”, from Azerbaijani it means “sea, boiling”.

Denise’s resemblance to the sea element most accurately reflects her character. This is a bright, impulsive and strong woman who, alone with herself, can be dreamy, quiet, affectionate with her loved ones, and formidable with her offenders. In short, Denise is an unpredictable and emotional force.

Parents need to show the baby that the world is not hostile, teach her to cope with emotions, and control herself.

In Denise’s school childhood there was a lot of communication and discoveries that were significant for her. She learns to transform her character, to direct energy in a peaceful direction. Denise’s very enthusiastic nature both helps and hinders her in her studies. Most likely, she will choose a range of subjects that are interesting to her, and the rest will “take care of itself.” However, her parents and friends like her just so eccentric and bright.

Denise has a somewhat adventurous approach to her work: she always strives to come up with a “knight’s move” so as not to get involved with the routine. Sometimes this tactic works, but more often it rewards Denise with a reputation for being lazy. She needs to choose creative professions where her emotionality and adventurism can bear fruit. Denise enjoys working with people: the profession of a teacher, educator, presenter, entrepreneur, secretary, administrator, etc. just for her.
