Meaning & Origin
The drug dimethyltryptamine.
Dimitri is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, a variant of Dmitri or Demetrius, from the Greek Demetrios, meaning "devoted to Demeter" — the goddess of grain, harvest, and the earth. It has been widely used across Russia, Greece, and Eastern Europe.
Dimitri carries a rich, cosmopolitan quality — the Russian Dmitri and the Greek Demetrios converge in this streamlined form. It has grown in the United States as parents appreciate its international elegance and the way it sits naturally on both formal documents and in casual conversation.
