Demyri is of Greek origin, derived from the given name Demetrios, which is composed of two elements: δῆμος (demos) meaning "people" and ἥρως (heros) meaning "hero". This suggests that Demyri may have originally been intended to evoke notions of heroism and popularity. The name was likely brought into prominence through the fame of Saint Demetrios, an early Christian martyr who was venerated throughout the Byzantine Empire and beyond. In English-speaking countries, Demyri is quite rare but can be found used in some families with Greek heritage or those who choose unique names inspired by ancient cultures.
"Demyri was quite popular in 2019 with five newborns that year."
