There is some confusion over the band name's origin and actual meaning. Kaoru has stated that it means "greyish silver coin," which is seemingly unfounded, a more accurate translation being "to you in grey." Each word from "Dir en grey" means something in another language. "Dir" is the word "you" in German. "en" is the word "in" in French. And "grey" is obviously "grey" in English. So a literal translation of Dir en grey is "you in grey." Dir en grey's international fans who speak a Latin-based language often use the abbreviations Deg and Diru when both speaking and typing for sake of brevity.
