Denisse is the Spanish spelling of Denise, the French feminine form of Dennis, which goes back to the Greek Dionysios and means "devoted to Dionysus", the god of wine. The double s keeps the French pronunciation in Spanish, and the name is well established in Mexico and among Latino families in the United States. Denisse peaked at number 835 in 2002, briefly re-entered the top 1000 in 2020 and ranks number 1886 in 2025.
