Meaning & origin

Demetrie is a rare Greek-origin name that appeared in U.S. records from 1966 onward, never reaching the top 1000. Its peak year was 1992, after which usage declined. The name remains stable in its obscurity, with no state showing particular concentration. As a variant of Demetrius, it carries mythological weight but holds a distinct, less common form. Parents choosing Demetrie often appreciate its classical roots and its melodic, three-syllable rhythm.

Demetrie is a diminutive or variant of Demetrios, the Greek name derived from Demeter, the goddess of the harvest and agriculture. The name has been used in Eastern Orthodox and Greek communities for centuries. In the United States, it appeared occasionally in the mid-20th century, with a peak in 1992.
