Etymology
Pierre-Denis combines two Greek-rooted names: Pierre (from Petros, meaning "stone" or "rock") and Denis (from Dionysios, meaning "follower of Dionysus"). The hyphenated form is a French naming convention that pairs two given names, creating a compound personal name.
The name is predominantly used in French-speaking Catholic cultures, particularly in France, Belgium, and francophone Canada, reflecting both the Christian veneration of Saint Peter and Saint Denis (a martyr and patron saint of France). This naming style became especially common in France from the medieval period onward.
Pierre-Denis currently ranks #2,601 in the United States as a boy's name. It reached its peak popularity around 1978.
