Dimo is Bulgarian, Slavic in Origin.

Dimo is a Bulgarian and Macedonian hypocoristic of Dimitar, rooted in Greek Demetrios. The underlying meaning is devoted to Demeter, the ancient goddess of agriculture, hence associations with the earth, harvest, and abundance. While commonly used as a familiar form within families, Dimo has long stood on its own as a formal given name across the Balkans and in diaspora communities.

Its use is tied to the Orthodox cult of St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki; in Bulgaria, Dimitrovden (26 October) traditionally marks the start of winter and has bolstered the name’s popularity since the 19th–20th centuries. Variants and related forms include Dimitar/Dimiter (Bg), Dime and Mitre (Mk), Mitko and Dimcho (Bg diminutives), and the broader Greek and international set Dimitrios/Dimitris, Demetrios/Demetrius, as well as East Slavic Dmitry/Dmytro. Feminine counterparts are Dimitra and Demetra. Bulgarian Cyrillic: Димо.
