Demetris
Demetris Origin and Meaning
Demetris is a feminine name with Greek origins, though it can occasionally be used for males as well. It derives from Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and harvest, ultimately meaning 'earth mother.' Demetris functions as a variation of the more common Demetria, with both serving as feminine forms of Demetrius. The name carries a classical elegance with its mythological connections while offering a slightly more streamlined form than Demetria. While never extremely common in English-speaking countries, Demetris has maintained consistent usage, particularly in Greek-American communities and regions with strong Greek influences. Its balance of ancient heritage with a contemporary sound makes it appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth and feminine strength.
