History & Origin
Demetrice is a feminine version of Demetrius, itself from the Greek Demetrios, 'follower of Demeter.' Demeter was the goddess of grain, growth, and the harvest, so the name carries a sense of devotion to her. In America the feminine Demetrice appears mainly in the mid-twentieth century.
Demetrice was most common around 1975 and had faded by the early two-thousands. A woman named Demetrice at the peak is around fifty today. It remains uncommon and reads as a later-twentieth-century feminine coinage on a classical base, without a modern revival.
