Mitia is a diminutive of the Greek name Demetrius, which means "to dedicate" or "follower of Demeter". It's composed of two elements: 'demos', meaning people, and 'eterein', which means to devote or set apart. The name Mitia has gained popularity due to its unique sound and simplicity, often chosen for its charm and shortness. It was made famous by the character Mitya (Mitia) in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel "The Brothers Karamazov".
"The name Mitia was quite popular in 1987 with six births that year."
