Demetrious, of Greek origin, is an attractive yet uncommon given name for males. It is derived from the Greek name Demetrios, which means "dedicated to Demeter." Demeter was the goddess of harvest and agriculture in ancient Greek mythology. The name Demetrious has been associated with several prominent figures throughout history, such as Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica, a martyr and patron saint of soldiers, and Demetrios Poliorketes, a Macedonian king who played a significant role in ancient Greece's politics and wars. Despite its rich heritage, the name Demetrious remains relatively unique today, offering those who bear it a distinctive identity.
"Demetrious has seen varying popularity over time, with peaks in the late 60s to mid-70s and again in the late 80s to early 90s. However, its usage has significantly declined since the turn of the century, with fewer than 20 births recorded annually from 2014 onwards."
