Dior was called half-elf once in old texts. This definition was removed.

In later texts as well:
"Eärendil was thus the second of the Pereldar (Half-elven), the elder being Dior, son of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel daughter of King Elu Thingol."
"By the marriage of Earendil to Elwing daughter of Dior son of Beren the lines of the Pereldar (Peredhil) were united."
These are from The Shibboleth of Feanor, PoME.
"Dior their son, it is said, spoke both tongues; his father's, and his mother's, the Sindarin of Doriath. For he said: 'I am the first of the Pereðil (Half-elven); but I am also the heir of King Elwë, the Eluchíl.'"
This is from the Problem of Ros, PoME
"Dior Halfelven weds Lindis of Ossiriand."
This is from the Wanderings of Hurin, WotJ


Dior was 'half-Elven' and inherited Maiarin 'blood' from Luthien which passed on to his descendants.
