Meaning & origin
Dmitriy entered U.S. records in 1994 and reached its peak rank in 2006, after which its usage has been declining. In the latest data (2025), it ranked 8910th with a frequency of 1 in 213,510 births, a notable drop from its peak. The trajectory shows consistent falling since 2005, likely reflecting reduced immigration from Slavic countries where the name remains more common. Dmitriy's top states are not recorded, indicating it does not concentrate in any particular region. Despite its declining trend, Dmitriy retains strong cultural roots and offers a distinguished Russian heritage.
Dmitriy is the Russian form of the Greek name Demetrios, derived from Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility. The name has been widespread in Eastern Orthodox cultures, particularly in Russia, where it was borne by several saints and grand princes. Its popularity in the United States reflects immigration from Slavic countries.
