Detria

Celebrate the special bond between parent and child with Detria, a beautiful name meaning "daughter" across multiple languages and cultures. Detria is thought to be a variant of the Greek Deitra, a feminine form of Demetrius, which is the Latinized form of Demetrios, derived from the Greek goddess Demeter. Meaning "son of Demeter" or, in this case, "daughter of Demeter," it also carries a connection to "earth mother" (from gê, "earth," and mā́tēr, "mother"). Beyond its link to Mother Nature, Detria and Deitra can also be connected to the Irish Deirdre. In Irish mythology, Deirdre of the Sorrows was a tragic figure whose story of love and loss inspired the name's association with sorrow. However, this meaning can be reshaped to signify healthy emotional expression for your little one. The Old Irish der reinforces the meaning of “daughter,” but also implies that of “wanderer.” You can bet that your little Detria will always carry their cherished relationship with you wherever they may wander.
