Denisiy

From the Greek name Denifotēs (or Denifelēs), via Latin (Deniferus, Dennyss) and medieval languages, the name Denis spread to Russian territories in the XV-XVI centuries. In Russia, the name became known through the translation of the Bible, where Daniel is one of the most important heroes of the Book of Daniel. In Russian, the name took the form Denisii.
