Meaning: Its source is Demetrios, a Greek name meaning "Follower of Demeter."

Narrative: Demeter was the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture, known to the Romans as Ceres.

During her daughter Persephone's yearly exile to the underworld (where Persephone's husband, Hades, reigned), Demeter was thought to neglect her responsibilities, causing the world to suffer with her through the desolate winter months.
