Demitria is a modern respelling of Demetria, the Latinized feminine form of the Greek name Demetrios, derived from the theonym Demeter (Δημήτηρ), goddess of grain and the harvest. The meaning is “belonging to Demeter” or “devotee of Demeter,” with connotations of fertility, provision, and the earth. The name appears in Late Antiquity among Christian Romans - e.g., Saint Demetria of Rome - and echoes the widespread cult of Saint Demetrios in the Greek and Balkan world, which helped sustain related forms through Byzantine and post-Byzantine eras.

Usage in English-speaking countries has been uncommon but recognizable since the 19th century, with visibility boosted in recent decades by the nickname form Demi. Established variants include Demetria (standard), Demetra and Dimitra (Greek/Anglicized), and the Italian/Spanish Demetria. Diminutives and short forms include Demi, Dimi, Tria, and Mia.
