A new guy started at my work today. His name is Dimitar. I've never seen this. When I first heard it I automatically thought "Demeter" as in the Greek goddess. But Dimitar looks like it may be more Russian? I'm not sure. Does anyone know anything about this name?

VERY similar to it. It's more of a "tar" at the end though. The first "i" has the same sound as the first "e" in Demeter. So it's like De- me- tar. I wish I had the ability to type out schwas and other symbols for pronunciations. That first "i" in "Dimitar" is a schwa sound if that helps at all.
