Dimetrius is a unique, three-syllable male given name of Greek origin. It means 'honoring Demeter,' the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility. The name was popularized by the poet Homer in his epic work, The Odyssey. Dimetrius is sometimes spelled Dimitrios or Dimitris, but it maintains its distinctiveness regardless of spelling. Its rarity makes it a striking choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name.
"The name Dimetrius experienced its peak popularity between 1976 and 1977 with a total of 18 births during those two years. However, it's important to note that the overall trend shows a steady decline in popularity over time, with fewer than 10 births recorded each year after 1995."
