Probably the most well-known saints with this name are St Dionysius the Areopagite, an Athenian judge who was converted by Apostle Paul, and St Dionysius of Aegina and Zakynthos. The saint is patron of this Greek island, and about every third or fourth person who comes from there is called Dionysius or Dionysia.
There are at least 30 other saints with that name as well. According to one Greek source, there is also a St Dionysia, a martyr whose feastday is December 6, though I haven\'t yet found any further information on her.
