Meaning & Origin
Dimitriy is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, a Russian and Ukrainian spelling of Dmitri, itself from the Greek Dēmētrios, meaning 'follower of Demeter,' the Greek goddess of the harvest. The name carries both agricultural abundance and Russian cultural grandeur.
Dimitriy preserves the Cyrillic-transliterated spelling of this great Russian name. It suits families of Russian or Eastern European heritage who want the authentic form of Dmitri as it appears in Russian documents and literature.
