Origin, Meaning, And History Of Dmitri
Dmitri is a nature-inspired masculine name of Russian origin. It is an alternate transcription of the Russian Salvic name Дмитрий (Dmitriy). When tracing back to its roots, it was found that the name comes from the Latin name Demetrius, which originated from the Greek name Δημήτριος (Demetrios), referring to the Greek mythological goddess Demeter, who was one of the twelve Olympians. The possible meaning of the name of this Goddess of agriculture is ‘Earth mother,’ derived from the combination of two words from Greek – δᾶ (da) meaning “earth” and μήτηρ (meter) meaning “mother”. Thus, the name Dmitri can be referred to as the ‘follower of Demeter,’ or ‘Earth mother.’
