Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Dēmḗtrios (Δημήτριος),” from “Dēmḗtēr (Δημήτηρ),” composed of two elements: “gê (γῆ)” (Proto-Albanian / Illyrian’*dže / dhe’) (land, earth, country, soil) plus “mā́tēr ‎(μᾱ́τηρ) mḗtēr (μήτηρ) (mother, source or origin). In turn, the name means “mother-earth, of Demeter, dedicated to Demeter, son of Demeter.” Demeter is the goddess of corn, grain, and the harvest. She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. It is Demeter that makes the crops grow each year. The first loaf of bread from the harvest is sacrificed. Demeter is the goddess of the earth, agriculture, and fertility in general. Sacred to her are livestock and agricultural products, the poppy, the narcissus, and the crane. Demeter is commonly associated with the seasons. Hades kidnaped his daughter Persephone to be his wife in the underworld.
