History of the origin of the name Demid

Research by linguists about the origin of the name Demid is ambiguous. A version of the origin of the name Demid is considered, according to which ancient Greece should be considered the birthplace of this beautiful, sonorous name. First, the name Diomedes appeared in the ancient Greek language, which was used to call male infants with the sole purpose of appeasing the supreme deity, the great Zeus. Over time, the name changed and began to be pronounced as Demid. This male name came to Russian soil in a slightly different guise – Diomede, but after a while it also began to be pronounced as Demid. Demidov Day is celebrated according to the Christian calendar on August 29, along with the beginning of the third, nut or grain Savior. Nuts ripen for this holiday, and pies are baked from new flour in homes. August 29 is considered the day of the holy martyr Diomede, a famous healer. While receiving patients, the doctor Diomede simultaneously tried to introduce them to the Christian faith, for which he was subsequently punished by the authorities. He was beaten to death with a whip.
