Meaning & Origin
alternative form of dēor
Dior is a girl's and boy's baby name of French origin, from the famous French fashion house founded by designer Christian Dior in 1946. The surname Dior is of uncertain French etymological origin but has become synonymous globally with luxury, elegance, and haute couture.
Dior has emerged as a fashion-brand name with genuine beauty and elegance beyond its commercial origins. It has grown primarily in African-American communities, carrying an aspirational glamour that few names can match. Its one-syllable French crispness gives it a rare combination of brevity and sophistication.
