Meaning:Of Demeter, dedicated to Demeter; Earth mother
Demetrius, a Greek boy's name, means "of Demeter" or “dedicated to Demeter.” Demeter was the Greek goddess of agriculture, grain, and bread, whose own title signifies “earth mother.” She was also Persephone's mother and would disappear every year when her daughter had to stay in the underworld. This diversion would put an end to growth and the harvest and cause famine for her people. Baby is sure to bring a whole new host of emotions into your life but, like after every winter, there'll always be something to smile about.
