Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno pochádza z gréckeho Démétrios (Δημήτριος), ktoré znamená „patriaci bohyni Demetre“. Ide o odvodeninu od mena gréckej bohyne úrody a poľnohospodárstva. Samotný pôvod mena bohyne nie je jednoznačne objasnený; táto neistota nespochybňuje doložené odvodenie mužského mena.
