The name that is transliterated as «Dionysius» in English means «divinely touched.» (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it# is translated with a sign that combines the signs for «toga» (which were worn by the councilors of the Areopagus of which Dionysius was one), «responsibility,» and «consecration,» symbolizing his conversion to Christianity. (Source: Missão Kophós )
