(Att. etc.) with Διονυσιακός (Th.); Διονυσίσκος, dimin., denom. of a person, with bone-like grows on the temples (medic.); denomin. διονυσιάζω `feast the D.' (Luc. u. a.) with Διονυσιασταί m. pl. name of the D.-worshippers (Nisyros etc.; cf. Άπολλωνιασταί s. Άπόλλων).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: From *Διοσ-νυσος, Schwyzer 283). Dionysos would have come from Thrace. His father would be Zeus, his mother Σεμέλη (s. v.). As the first member seemed the gen. of the Thracian Zeus, Kretschmer ( Einleitung 241f.) assumed in the second member a Thracian word for `son' (found in Thracian names like Νῦσα; further Νῦσαι, Νύσιαι the nymphs, who cared for him) and Nusatita (PN). This interpretation, however, finds no support (s. on νυός). Dunkel, FS Strunk, 1995, 1-21, assumed i.a. that the name contains * suHnu- `son', of which s and n were metathesized. This is, however, improbable. Fur. 250 recalls the PN Διονυτᾶς (beside - σᾶς on a coin from Teos; G. Meyer, Gr. Gramm. (1896) 381) and stresses that the variation τ\/σ points to a non-IE = Pre-Greek word. Attempts to find an IE etym., then, have failed and we have to accept that it is a foreign name.
