The name Dmitry is a male given name of Russian origin, derived from the Greek name Demetrios, which means "devoted to Demeter," the Greek goddess of agriculture. Pronounced as DEE-mee-tree (/ˈdʲmʲitrʲɪ/), it carries a strong cultural resonance in Russia and other Slavic countries. Variations of the name include Dmitri and Dmitriy. In the United States, Dmitry has seen modest popularity over the years, with its highest rank being 3060 in 2013.
