Usage: Dionysius is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a specific individual, Dionysius the Areopagite, who was a member of the Areopagus council in Athens. He is noted for being one of the few converts to Christianity following the Apostle Paul's sermon at the Areopagus.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Dionysius was common in the Greco-Roman world, often associated with the worship of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and religious ecstasy. The Areopagus was a prominent council in Athens, responsible for matters of law and governance, and it also served as a place for philosophical discourse. Dionysius, being a member of this council, would have been a person of considerable influence and education.
