Dmitr is Russian in Origin.
Dmitr is a modern clipped variant of the Slavic name Dmitri/Dmitry, ultimately from the Greek Demetrios, meaning "belonging to Demeter," the goddess of agriculture. By sense extension it conveys "devoted to Demeter" or "earth-lover." Through the cult of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki, a 4th-century martyr widely venerated in the Eastern Church, the name spread across medieval Slavic lands and became a perennial favorite in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and beyond.
The streamlined spelling Dmitr appears rarely, often as a minimalist transliteration or stylistic choice in contemporary records. More established forms include Russian Dmitriy/Dmitrii (Дмитрий), Ukrainian Dmytro (Дмитро), Belarusian Dzmitry, Bulgarian and Macedonian Dimitar, Greek Dimitrios/Dimitris, Romanian Dumitru, and English-friendly Demetri or Dimitri. Common diminutives are Dima and Mitya (plus Mitko in Bulgarian); feminine counterparts include Dimitra and Demetra. In Anglophone use, Dmitr feels edgy and compact while preserving a deep Slavic-Greek heritage.
