What is the meaning of the name Demo ?

The baby name Demo is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdɛmoʊ/ (DEM-oh).

Demo is Greek in Origin.

Demo traces to the Ancient Greek root dēmos, meaning “people” or “the populace,” the same element found in democracy and demography. As a given name, it appears in classical literature: Dêmô (Δημώ) is named among the daughters of King Celeus in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, marking early, feminine use. In later traditions, Demo also functions as a clipped form of longer Greek names built on the same root (e.g., Demosthenes, Democritus) or those of the Demetrios/Demetra family.

Today the name is rare but pan-European in feel. In Italy, Demo occurs as a short form of Demetrio; in Greek circles, Dimos or Demos are related variants, while Dimo is a cognate in parts of the Balkans (from Dimitar/Dimítrios). Meaning centers on “of the people; belonging to the people.” Not to be confused with Deimos (“terror”), Demo can be used for any gender.
