What does the name Dior mean?
Dior is a French surname made famous by the fashion designer Christian Dior (1905 to 1957) and the fashion house named after him. As a given name in the US it is recent, recorded from 1977 for girls and 1982 for boys. We found no dictionary that explains the surname's origin, and its use as a first name rests on the brand's image of luxury. We therefore do not give it a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. Surname origin undocumented in our sources; the given name follows the fashion brand.
Related names: Diora.
