Origin of your given name.

Dmitrii - I knew the meaning, but anyway

It means "the one who belongs to Demetra - the goddess of fertility and nature"
DEMETRIUS m Ancient Greek (Latinized)
Latin form of the Greek name Demetrios, which was derived from the name of the Greek goddess DEMETER (1). Kings of Macedon and the Seleucid kingdom have had this name. This was also the name of several early saints including a Saint Demetrius who was martyred in the 4th century.

Lawrence: From the Roman cognomen Laurentius, which meant "of Laurentum". Laurentum was a city in ancient Italy, its name probably deriving from Latin laurus "laurel". Saint Laurence was a 3rd-century deacon and martyr from Rome. According to tradition he was roasted alive on a gridiron because, when ordered to hand over the church's treasures, he presented the sick and poor.

Wow, don't I feel happy! My name is the same as a guy who got roasted 'cause he was stupid enough to defy Catholics. Yipee!

Are you saying you are a "cheese-eater"? As long as your middle name doesn't mean surrender and your last name monkey, you will be OK

I eat only the finest British cheese and some of the crappy ones as well.

ANTHONY m English
Pronounced: AN-tho-nee
From the Roman family name Antonius, which is of unknown Etruscan origin. It is sometimes claimed to mean "flower" from Greek anthos. Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) was the Roman general who ruled the Roman empire jointly with Augustus for a short time. Their relationship turned sour however, and he and his mistress Cleopatra were attacked and forced to commit suicide. Shakespeare's tragedy 'Antony and Cleopatra' is based on them. Other famous bearers include the 3rd-century Saint Anthony the Abbot, a hermit from Egypt who founded monasticism, and the 13th-century Saint Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of Portugal.
