Mitria is in Origin.

With roots in Greek onomastics, Mitria is best understood as a modern feminine offshoot of Demetrios via Demetria/Dimitria, ultimately meaning “devoted to Demeter,” the ancient goddess of grain and fertility - often glossed as “earth mother.” The form likely arose as a streamlined blend, dropping the opening syllable of Demetria, yielding a sleek contemporary profile while preserving the classical sense.

Documented use is rare and largely modern, surfacing in diasporic Greek and Slavic communities and in English-language registries since the late 20th century. Close variants and cognates include Demetria, Dimitria, Demetra/Dimitra; related masculine forms are Demetrios and Dimitri. A succinct nickname is Demi. Note that in Modern Greek, mitriá (mee-tree-AH) is the common noun for “stepmother,” a near-homophone that can shape perception in Greece. Some also associate Mitria with Mitra, “friend,” though that reflects a separate Indo-Iranian tradition rather than a direct etymology.
