DEMETRIUS
Latinized form of the Greek name Δημήτριος (Demetrios), which was derived from the name of the Greek goddess DEMETER (1).
Means “earth mother”, derived from Greek δε (de) “earth” and μητηρ (meter) “mother”. In Greek mythology Demeter was the goddess of agriculture, the daughter of Cronus, the sister of Zeus, and the mother of Persephone.
