A Russian male given name; sometimes spelled Dmitry, it has been borne by various Russian historical figures and rulers.
From Greek Demetrios, from Demeter (goddess of agriculture). The name passed into Russian through Byzantine Christianity and became one of the most common Russian male names.
Dimitry/Dmitry is so culturally Russian that many English speakers don't realize it's Greek in origin—it came through Eastern Orthodox Christianity and became deeply embedded in Russian tradition, from medieval princes to modern scientists.
