Band Name Origins:
- Named after the band's singer, Ronnie James Dio, born Ronald James Padavona. He took the name "Dio" from Johnny Dio, a mafia member from Florida, NOT because the word happens to mean "God" is some languages. (source: www.dio.net) Submitted by: Bill M.
- Lead singer Ronnie James (whose real last name escapes me) Changed his name to Ronnie James Dio. Why? Dio is Italian for "God". Nope, no ego problems there. - Blaze Phoenix Ronnie James Dio's real last name is Pardovana Submitted by: Evilar
