The name Dior, of French origin, is derived from the ancient Roman family name Dioscorus, which was derived from the Greek word 'Dios' meaning 'god', and 'Koros' meaning 'helper'. The name gained prominence in the fashion world when Christian Dior, a prominent French designer, founded his luxury fashion house in 1946. The name is now strongly associated with elegance, sophistication, and high-end fashion.
