Well, those are the traditional ways of spelling Dimitri... My family has spelled it many different ways though:
Demitri, Demetri, Demetre
girls: Demitria, D'Metra, Dimetra, themitra

Just depends on what you like... and who you are.

: DEMETRIOS OR
: DEMETRIOU for a FEMALE

: THIS IS THE CORRECT GREEK TRANSLITERATION INTO ROMAN ALPHABET FROM THE GREEK ALPHABET USING CORRESPONDING LETTERS.
: TRUST ME I'M GREEK


: :
: : Dimitris as a last name(surname)would be spelt DIMITRI or DEMETRIOU as the spelling of names changes in Greek when they are used as surnames.


: : : It is not always easy to spell Greek words in the Latin alphabet, as the Greek alphabet uses characters we're not used to.

: : : Personally, I would spell it Dimitris.

: : : : Hello,
: : : : I am wondering how to spell the surname Dimietries correctly? (or have i got it right?)

: : : : Thanks!
