History & Origin
Daimian follows the well-worn path of respelling a classic name for a fresh look. Its parent Damian traces to the Greek Damianos and the idea of taming, and it gained ground in America as the horror-film association of the nineteen-seventies faded.
This particular spelling was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its high point around two thousand seven. A boy named Daimian then would be in his late teens today. The variant reads as a parent's bid for a slightly distinctive take on a widely liked name.
