Meaning & origin
Demia is a rare modern name that entered U.S. records in 1968, likely a feminine elaboration of Demetrius. It peaked in 2005 but has been declining since 2004, with a 2025 rank of 10,107 (1 in 178,585 births). The name has not reached widespread popularity and shows no state-level concentration. Its style aligns with soft -ia endings popular among English coinages.
Demia appears to be a modern English coinage, likely a feminine variant of Demetrius (derived from the Greek goddess Demeter) or a blend with the popular -ia suffix. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1968, suggesting a 20th-century creation rather than a historical name.
