Metro Origin and Meaning
Metro is a masculine name with Greek origins, derived from the name Demetrios or Demetrius, meaning "devoted to Demeter" (the goddess of agriculture and fertility in Greek mythology). Metro can also be seen as a nickname for Metropolitan. In Slavic countries, particularly Russia and Ukraine, it appears as a standalone given name. The name carries urban connotations in modern contexts due to its association with metropolitan areas and subway systems. Metro remains uncommon as a given name in most Western countries, giving it a distinctive quality for those seeking a rare, short, and impactful masculine name with classical roots.
