History & Origin

Demetry is a simplified spelling of Demetrius or the Slavic Dmitri, all from the Greek Demetrios, 'devoted to Demeter,' goddess of the harvest. The name runs through Greek and Eastern Orthodox tradition, carried by saints and tsars; the Demetry form is an American respelling that keeps that long heritage and meaning.

This spelling was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 1992, with scattered earlier records. A boy named Demetry then is in his thirties today.

Did you know? Demetry honors Demeter, the Greek goddess of grain and harvest, through Demetrios - the same root that gave Slavic families Dmitri.
