Dmitriy is the Russian form of the Greek name Demetrios, meaning 'follower of Demeter,' the goddess of agriculture and harvest. This connection links the name to the earth's bounty and the cycles of growth. It traveled from ancient Greece through Byzantium to Russia, where it became a name of noble bearing, most famously borne by the chemist Dmitri Mendeleev.
