Dimitrije
Meaning of Dimitrije
Dimitrije is a distinguished male name of Serbian origin, pronounced as dee-MEE-tree-yeh. It is a variant of the more widely known names Dimitri and Dimitrios, which have roots in Greek culture and are associated with Demeter, the ancient goddess of agriculture. This name carries a sense of strength and heritage, often linked to historical and religious figures in Eastern European traditions. Although Dimitrije is relatively rare in the United States, with only a handful of occurrences each year—5 instances recorded in both 2022 and 2020—it holds a unique charm that appeals to parents seeking an uncommon yet culturally rich name for their baby boy.
