Dimetrie is Greek in Origin.

Dimetrie is a likely modern English respelling that blends Demetri and the Romanian Dimitrie, all ultimately from Greek Demetrios, meaning “devotee of Demeter,” the goddess of grain and the fertile earth. Through Hellenistic and Latin routes it appears as Demetrius, while living forms across Europe include Greek Dimitrios/Dimitris, Russian Dmitri/Dmitry, Bulgarian Dimitar, Ukrainian Dmytro, Serbian Dimitrije, Spanish/Italian Demetrio, and Romanian Dimitrie/Dumitru.

Usage is anchored in the veneration of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki (4th century), which spread the name throughout the Orthodox world; in the West it remains familiar via the classical Demetrius, seen in literature such as Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Variant spellings and short forms include Demetri, Demitri, Dimitri, Demetrius, and Mitri, Dima, or Demi as nicknames; feminine counterparts are Demetria, Demetra, and Dimitra. Dimetrie preserves the same pastoral meaning of loyalty to Demeter, suggesting abundance, nurture, and steadfastness.
