Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish dios, from Latin deus (“god, deity”), from Old Latin deivos (“god, deity”), from Proto-Italic *deiwos (“god, deity”), from Proto-Indo-European *deywós (“god, deity”), from *dyew- (“sky, heaven”). The form in -os continues the Latin nominative, not the expected accusative as in Ladino dio. This may be due to Ecclesiastical Latin influence. Compare the name Marcos…
