Denison Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
V. the commoner form Dennison.
(English, Irish) Son of Denis (belonging to Dionysius, Grecian god of wine); son of the brown fighter or warrior.
The son of Denis. See, however, Dennistoun.
Thomas Denison, one of the Society of Merchant Adventurers, was buried in Leeds parish church in 1708 (Th.). The English Denisons are said to have sprung from the Scottish Dennistouns (L.). Since, however, Denny has long been a Norfolk and a Suffolk name, its change to Denison in the north of England is the same as that which a multitude of English family names have undergone in the northern counties, and a great number of examples of this change are to be found in this work.
