  • Meaning: Male name DINOFF is a Latin spelling of its Cyrillic origins 'ДИНОВ' (for the male) and 'ДИНОВА' (for its female versions). Below are some other possible Latin spellings of the Cyrillic versions of these names.

  • Male versions of the name: 'DINOV' 'DINOW' 'DINOFF'

  • Origin: Belarusian

• The word Dainow, or Dinoff in Hebrew has the word Daled, Yud, Nun, which makes up the word Dayin, or Judge. Speculate from this that ancestrally we derived the last name as someone was the Jewish court judge within our family. Commonly surnames were developed by their occupation. I believe would mean sitting judge.
