I'm asking bout a person I met in a class today. His name began with like a V perhaps...not vladimir...not dimitre, but he said we could call him "dima" and that name was definitely part of his full name, in the last half of it. What could it it be?

Im russian... Its the same pronountion Dima, but its a shorter form for the name, the full name for that can be Dmitri, Dmitry or Dmitriy, sometimes Dmitrij. Russian: Дмитрий (Dmitrij)

In fact, Dima corresponds to Dmitriy in Russian.
For Vladimir the abridged form is Vova, another variant is Volodea.
I do not know any other first names that would take Dima for abridged form. Maybe it's a particular case, an exception?
I have, for example, a relative who is Vladimir in passport, but everyone calls him Dima.

Dima is also a Romanian Last name or Family name. Maybe he is not Russian.

Of course Marinika's right; is it possible he bears a non-Russian name? Dima is also used for Demetrio, Demetro, Dimitrio (Dmitrij is Russian for Demetrius, in fact) used in western Europe.

Dima is short from Dimitri, a patron of Thessaloniki, orthodox saint
