Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Demetrije means “devoted to the goddess Demeter” or “belonging to Demeter”.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza zo starogréckeho Dēmḗtrios (Δημήτριος), ktoré znamená „patriaci bohyni Demeter“ alebo „zasvätený bohyni Demeter“. Etymológia mena bohyne Demeter nie je úplne istá; jeho druhá časť sa spája s gréckym mḗtēr („matka“), kým výklad prvej časti zostáva predmetom diskusie. Demetrije je zriedkavý juhoslovanský variant, príbuzný bežnejšej srbskej podobe Dimitrije.
