The Russian spelling provided in this entry is properly transcribed as Dimitriy. You might want to make a mention of that somewhere, as I see that Dimitriy is not in the main database. Could it even be that Dimitriy is actually the proper Church Slavic form and that Dimitri is a variant transcription?

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.

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.
