What is the meaning of the name Dima ?

The baby name Dima is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced DEE-mah.

Dima is Arabic, Greek, Russian in Origin.

Dima has two distinct etymologies. In Arabic, Dīma represents ديمة, a classical noun for a steady, lasting rain; the final -a reflects the feminine noun ending in transliteration. In Russian, Дима is a hypocoristic of Dmitry, whose church and literary forms descend through Dimitrii from Greek Dēmḗtrios, an adjective in -ios from Dēmḗtēr, the name of Demeter. Its literal sense is of Demeter rather than strong fighter.

The Arabic name is feminine in the Levant and Gulf, often romanized Deema or Dema. The Russian nickname is masculine and informal, attached to Dmitry/Dmitri; Orthodox calendars connect the full name with saints named Demetrios, especially the martyr Demetrios of Thessaloniki. Slavic and Balkan equivalents include Dimitar and Dymitr, while Mitya is another Russian pet form. In English-speaking records Dima appears on both sexes, with recent American usage leaning feminine and remaining rare.
