Dmitry is traditionally one of the ten most popular male names in Russia, second only to Alexander. Although it has an ancient Greek origin, the spread of the name among the Slavs is explained by the planting of Christianity that came from the shores of Byzantium. It is for this reason that quite often parents select names for their children for the patronymic of Dmitrievich.
Meaning of the name
To name a child is to some extent predetermine his fate. The meaning of the name is very important. So, Dmitry in the literal translation sounds like "belonging to Demeter". Who is Demeter? This is the ancient Greek goddess, whose sphere of influence is the earth, its fertility.
What are the positive qualities inherent in Dmitry? After all, it is they who force the parents to choose this name again and again for their baby. Dmitriev is characterized by kindness, activity, the will to live. They are almost impossible to break, so firmly they stand on the ground.
Men with this name are true to friendship. They are talented and quick-witted, relying solely on logic. And at the same time they are highly moral people. They also have drawbacks, for example, some instability, but it is generously blocked by positive aspects.
Choosing male names that are combined with the patronymic of Dmitrievich, it makes sense to decide whether the child should be called the name of the father.
In honor of the parent
Psychologist A. Losev proves: the name gives a person individuality, social significance and character. Recently, one of the main criteria for naming was the desire of parents to pick it up at a subconscious level, based on the beauty of sound. Although there are those who turn to the holy calendar, astrology, fortune telling or call the baby in someone's honor.
Is it worth doing the last, because there is an opinion: one name - one fate. Psychologists see the inconvenience in only one thing: each family has to stipulate who is small Dima and who is big. Or to address them differently: Mitya and Dimuly, for example.
And the fact that a father and son may have a similar fate, not only depends on the name. A child will necessarily inherit some character traits from his parents, appearance, etc. His worldview will be largely formed in the family. This is what will determine fate.
Parents who turn to the clergy can easily choose the names that are suitable for the patronymic of Dmitrievich. If the baby was born on October 10 or February 8, there is no reason to ignore Dmitry’s choice. Similar first names were:
- outstanding composer Shostakovich;
- famous horse breeder Sontsov;
- Doctor and scientist Pletnev.
Psychologists just do not recommend calling children in honor of untimely departed people, because their unrealized energy interferes in the life of a living.
The character of Dmitrievich
Specialists attribute the name to one of the most controversial. Cheerful Dmitry can simultaneously experience periods of depression. Its practicality is sometimes adjacent to frivolity, and attractiveness in the eyes of others is often combined with unsociability.
Choosing the names for the patronymic of Dmitrievich, one must well imagine that it bears its owner. What character traits are most likely to occur in the baby. You need to know this so that the meaning of the chosen name balances the undesirable moments associated with the patronymic.
So, we reveal the features of Dmitrievich:

- In childhood, they are overly capricious and stubborn.
- Someone else's opinion is rarely their authority.
- Being strong personalities, they are uncompromising and not always diplomatic.
Dependence on the month of birth
To balance unwanted traits, one must understand: the character depends not only on the name itself, but also on the month of birth. For this, many look into the horoscope. From the date of birth, the features of Dmitrievich also change. For example, December children are endowed with great imagination, physical endurance and often show their abilities in sports.
Soft-bodied and spineless boys are most often born in July. Choosing the names for the patronymic of Dmitrievich during this period, it is worth abandoning the name of the baby Michael. This combination is unsuccessful, because often such children make future alcoholics.

We select according to harmony
What names are suitable for patronymic Dmitrievich in harmony? To do this, you need to analyze the letters and, based on this, select a name. The patronymic under consideration sounds loudly, even a little rudely and as it were. This is ensured by the letter “d”, as well as a growling and even threatening “r”.
If parents want the child to become punchy and at some points not adhere to strict principles, he should be called with a name that includes “p”: Igor, Victor, Andrey, Roman and so on.
If it is important for them that more gentleness is manifested in the character of the child, the following names should be preferred: Ilya, Eugene, Vasily, Ivan, Savely.
Do not forget about the combination of vowels and consonants. After all, the name and patronymic should not irritate the hearing. If the name ends in a solid consonant, it will be in bad harmony with the middle name. For example, Gleb Dmitrievich, Yakov Dmitrievich, Oleg Dmitrievich.
If the parents have not decided yet, but choose a beautiful combination, then you can print a list of alleged names and read them out loud. This will determine which sound they like more.
