Dima Bilan is a Russian singer who represented his country in 2006 Eurovision with "Never Let You Go" and 2008 Eurovision with "Believe". He qualified both times and was the runner-up in 2006 but won in 2008, bringing the show to Russia the next year.
Dima Bilan is a Russian pop star. He was born in 1981, and his birth name is Viktor Nikolayevich Belan. To avoid claimants on his stage name, he changed his legal name to this. Also, Dima is a pet form of Dmitry, but he just liked Dima better.
My best friend is Russian, and his name is Dmitriy, but he goes by Dima. Everyone he knows loves his name, as do I. It's very cute and catchy. Also very different.
In Georgian, Dima is written as: დიმა.
