Best Answer

All of the Greek gods and goddesses aspects are derived by their names. Demeter comes from PIE (proto-Indo-European: the source for most of the languages in Europe). IN PIE, "-meter" is a form of "mater" which is mother. "De-" comes from either a diminutive that means earth or grain. Either way, it seems clear that Demeter was one of the many personifications of "mother earth"
