The spelling “Demetrius” is a romanization of the ancient Greek pronunciation; the Byzantine and Modern Greek pronunciation is romanized as Dimitrios or Demetrios. See Demetrios for more on the etymology of the name. In Russian, he is called Димитрий Солунский ([dimitri solunski] ‘Dimitri of Saloniki’) and was a patron saint of the Rurik dynasty from the late 11th century on. Izyaslav I of Kiev (whose Christian name was Dimitry) founded the first East Slavic monastery dedicated to this saint.
The name Dimitry is in common use. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church reveres St. Demetrius on 26 October as Димитровден (Dimitrovden). The Serbian Orthodox Church reveres St. Demetrius as Димитрије, having a feast of Mitrovdan on 8 November. The Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric reveres St. Demetrius as “Свети Димитријa”, having a feast of Митровден on 8 November.
He is known among Albanian-speakers in Kosovo as Shmitri, and in Albania as Shën Mitri. He is known in Lebanon as Mar Dimitri or Mitri for short, which is a common name among Christian Lebanese. He is known in the Coptic Church as “St. Demetrius of Thessalonica”. He is venerated in the Coptic Church on 8 November.
