Dametrius is of Greek origin, derived from the name Demetrios, which means 'dedicated to the god Dionysus'. It was particularly popular among the ancient Greeks and later adopted by other cultures. The name Dametrius has a strong, distinctive sound and offers an unusual yet appealing alternative for parents seeking a unique moniker.
The name Dametrius has seen a notable rise and fall in popularity over the years, with peaks occurring in the early 90s and again in the late 2000s to early 2010s. However, since 2015, its usage has been declining, reaching an all-time low of just 7 births per year in recent years (2021-2023). Overall, Dametrius has been given to a total of 388 newborn boys over the span of 46 years.
