At the time of the novel's main events, he is 27-28 years old, Dostoevsky writes it differently several times.
The name of Fyodor Pavlovich's eldest son – Dmitry – is the only one in the family not connected to the Christian God. Dmitry comes from the Greek Demetrios, meaning 'belonging to Demeter' – the goddess of agriculture and fertility. The novel's epigraph, taken from the Gospel of John, also mentions wheat and earth.
If you read the first name and patronymic together — Dmitry Fyodorovich — it can be interpreted as "God's gift of earth" — from the father's name Fyodor meaning "God's gift" and Dmitry's connection to earth.
