Absolutely one of my favorite names. It makes me think of someone who is strong, intelligent, and hardworking. The other spellings are wonderful too.

Dimitri Lousteau is an iguana DJ from the Sly Cooper series of stealth platforming video games.
This spelling is okay but I’ve always liked Dmitri better. I think it’s the “Dim” part I don’t care for. I also like the Greek version Demtrios and the Ukrainian version Dmytro. Dima is a cute name for any of them.
The Russian spelling provided in this entry is properly transcribed as Dimitriy. You might want to make a mention of that somewhere, as I see that Dimitriy is not in the main database. Could it even be that Dimitriy is actually the proper Church Slavic form and that Dimitri is a variant transcription?
Lucille is correct, it is properly transcripted as "Dimitriy". "Dimitri" leaves off the й, which is transcripted as a y. This transcription is still used, but is a simplified version. Proof й is transcripted as y- other transcriptions are listed but y is listed first because it is what is most commonly used. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_I_(Cyrillic)
The name Dimitri was given to 219 boys born in the US in 2016.

Dimitri is a a type of the ancient main male name Dimitrios. Dimitri is an ancient Greek (derives from the Goddess Δήμητρα Demetra - Dimitra, γαια => γα=δα / γη=δη => μήτηρ=μήτρα = μάνα => Δήμητηρ = μάνα γή, γαία = earth and μήτηρ = mother). It was used as the name among the ancient Greeks, Romans and was very common in medieval and modern Greece. The high frequency of the name is due to the homonymous saint of Christianity the Holy Great Martyr Demetrios.
This name is also commonly used in Georgia. In fact, Dimitri is more common there than Demetre, which is the actual Georgian form of Demetrius.In Georgian, Dimitri is written as: დიმიტრი.
The name DIMITRI derives from the Greek ancient religion and mythology. From the goddess Dimitra ( Δημητρα), the goddess of land, agriculture. This name itself derives from the Greek words: DI-MITRA, in Greek ΔΗ-ΜΗΤΡΑ > ΓΗ-ΜΗΤΗΡ=Mother earth.
When I see the name Dimitri I don't picture dark jaded vampires or a nickname for a handsome Greek man named Demetrius.All I picture is a tall attractive Russian man with dark hair, blur eyes, and a bit of stubble on his face. Basically just like every Russian Spy named Dimitri on TV or in movies. In sort I love this name and it is at the top of my list, for whatever reason it just seems warm and inviting to me. Not at all like the rough and scary characters that often sport the name.
The Greek way to write this name is Dimitrios or Demetrios. This name is a strong sounding name and has been in use for ages. A very nice name.

Dimitri is a character in the series Vampire Academy by Richelle Meadd. He's a dhampir guardian and the main character's Rose's mentor and love interest.
I love this name! I picture someone dark, and confident, yet mysterious and disturbed at the same time.A famous bearer of Dimitri is a vampire from the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. He is a member of the Volturi and is a renowned tracker. His first appearance is in New Moon, but he also reappears in Breaking Dawn.
In the movie "Anastasia" (1997) the male main character was named this. Voiced by John Cusack. Set in imperial Russia, the character was supposed to be a man who was a servant in the Romanov Palace who helped young Princess Anastasia escape the execution of her whole family. Years passed and Anastasia (Anya) is lost. Later Dimitri finds her and reunites her with her grandmother.
The name is not Slavic (Russian), it is Greek. It comes from the St. Dimitrios which is a Greek Orthodox church saint. The Russians adopted the name and changed its spelling to a number of different ways. Such as Dmitry, Dmtry, Dima, Demetry, Dmetry.
