Origin: Romanian

Meaning: Earth mother

Dumitra is a girl’s name of Romanian origin, borrowed from the Greek name Demeter, meaning “earth mother.” If you’ve got a good grip on your Greek legend and lore, you might know Demeter as the goddess of agriculture and the harvest, who sent the world into an endless hunger when her daughter Persephone was captured by Hades. Armed with the authority to keep the grass from growing, this Greek deity was a force to be reckoned with. But hopefully, your little Dumitra will use the power they’ve been appointed for all the right reasons.
