Dhimitrios Origin and Meaning

The name Dhimitrios is a boy's name of Greek origin.

Dhimitrios is a distinctive masculine name with Greek origins, representing a variant spelling of Dimitrios or Demetrios. The name derives from Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility, ultimately meaning "follower of Demeter." This variation with the added 'h' is less common than the standard Dimitrios spelling but preserves the same cultural heritage. The name remains primarily used in Greek and Cypriot communities, though it has spread somewhat through diaspora populations. While not as internationally recognized as the shortened form Dimitri, Dhimitrios carries a sense of classical dignity and historical continuity with ancient Greek civilization. It offers the friendly nicknames Dhimi or Mitros.
