Demetros

Demetros is a surname of Greek origin. It is a variant of the more common surname Dimitrios or Demetriou, both of which are derived from the Ancient Greek name Demetrios (Δημήτριος).

The name Demetrios is itself derived from Demeter (Δημήτηρ), the Greek goddess of agriculture, harvest, and fertility. Therefore, the name and its related surnames like Demetros are often interpreted to mean "belonging to Demeter" or "follower of Demeter."

As a surname, Demetros would have originated as a patronymic, meaning it was originally used to identify someone as the son or descendant of a man named Demetrios. The transition from personal name to hereditary surname occurred over centuries.

While primarily found in Greece and among the Greek diaspora, the surname Demetros, like other Greek surnames, can also be found in other parts of the world due to migration and historical events. Variations in spelling may exist due to transliteration differences across languages. The prevalence of the name can vary significantly depending on geographic location.
