Dmitriyevna

Dmitriyevna is a feminine Russian patronymic formed from the given name Dmitry. In Russian naming practice, a patronymic indicates a person’s father; Dmitriyevna means "daughter of Dmitry." The masculine form is Dmitrievich. Patronymics are used together with a surname and the person’s given name in formal address.

Typically, Russian three-part names follow the order: given name, patronymic, and surname (for example, Anna Dmitrievna Ivanova). In formal or respectful speech, people are addressed by the combination of given name and patronymic rather than the given name alone; among family, the given name may suffice. The patronymic is not a surname and is not reused as a family name, though it often appears in official documents and biographical references.

The given name Dmitry derives from the Greek Demetrios, meaning "of Demeter" or "devoted to Demeter." The patronymic Dmitriyevna is formed from the stem Dmitri- with the standard -evna suffix to denote a daughter.

Transliterations vary; common renderings include Dmitriyevna and Dmitrievna. In other Slavic languages such as Ukrainian, similar forms exist (for example Dmytriyevna), reflecting local phonology and spelling conventions.
