Dmitriy is a masculine name of Russian origin. While it’s a common name in Russia, it’s actually pretty niche in the U.S., peaking in popularity in 1997. This makes it a lovely choice if you want to give baby a title that helps them stand out from the crowd and appreciate their family tree. It ultimately comes from the Greek title Demetrius and translates to “follower of Demeter” or “Earth mother.” If you’ve got a love for Greek mythology, this name can connect your little one to Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture.
