Demeter (Δημήτηρ) is the Greek goddess of the harvest, agriculture, and motherly love. The name is composed of dē (possibly an early form of "earth") and mētēr (mother) — meaning "earth mother." Her daughter Persephone's abduction by Hades caused Demeter to bring winter to the earth.
Demeter is rare as a given name but rising — chosen by parents who want classical mythological weight.
Demeter reduces to nine — the number of earth-rooted motherhood.
