Many times, it serves as the suffix in local place names such as Rottingdean and Todmorden. Some assert it derives from the Anglo-Saxon word denu, meaning a plain or vale.

Second, it could be an occupational name, referring to a servant to a Dean, or looked like a Dean, which was an ecclesiastical official who was the head of a chapter of canons in a cathedral during medieval times and the Middle Ages, deriving from the Middle English word deen, itself from the Old French deien, itself from the Latin word decanus, a leader of ten men.
