Comments for the name Dimitri

I read it came from the Greek godess Demeter.

The name is not Slavic (Russian), it is Greek. It comes from the St. Dimitrios which is a Greek Orthodox church saint. The Russians adopted the name and changed its spelling to a number of different ways. Such as Dmitry, Dmtry, Dima, Demetry, Dmetry.

The female form is Dimitra.

In the movie "Anastasia" (1997) the male main character was named this. Voiced by John Cusack. Set in imperial Russia, the character was supposed to be a man who was a servant in the Romanov Palace who helped young Princess Anastasia escape the execution of her whole family. Years passed and Anastasia (Anya) is lost. Later Dimitri finds her and reunites her with her grandmother.

This name reminds me of someone sleezy.

This name is AWESOME! The name Dimitri just reminds me of someone dark and mysterious. Awesome.

Actually, there is only one spelling of it in Russian, it's just when it was transcribed into English, it can be done so a number of different ways.

Two famous bearers of the name Dimitri are Dmitri Shostakovich, the famous Russian composer and Dimitri Martin a well known comedian.

I love this name! I picture someone dark, and confident, yet mysterious and disturbed at the same time.

A famous bearer of Dimitri is a vampire from the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. He is a member of the Volturi and is a renowned tracker. His first appearance is in New Moon, but he also reappears in Breaking Dawn.

This is a really nice name. It reminds me of somebody that smart and slightly mysterious.

Dimitri is a character in the series Vampire Academy by Richelle Meadd. He's a dhampir guardian and the main character's Rose's mentor and love interest.

The Greek way to write this name is Dimitrios or Demetrios. This name is a strong sounding name and has been in use for ages. A very nice name.

When I see the name Dimitri I don't picture dark jaded vampires or a nickname for a handsome Greek man named Demetrius.

All I picture is a tall attractive Russian man with dark hair, blur eyes, and a bit of stubble on his face. Basically just like every Russian Spy named Dimitri on TV or in movies.

In sort I love this name and it is at the top of my list, for whatever reason it just seems warm and inviting to me. Not at all like the rough and scary characters that often sport the name.

The name DIMITRI derives from the Greek ancient religion and mythology. From the goddess Dimitra ( Δημητρα), the goddess of land, agriculture. This name itself derives from the Greek words: DI-MITRA, in Greek ΔΗ-ΜΗΤΡΑ > ΓΗ-ΜΗΤΗΡ=Mother earth.
