History & Origin
Daimien is a contemporary spelling of Damien, from the Greek daman, 'to tame' or 'subdue,' and the name of an early Christian healer-saint. The inserted -i- gives the familiar name a distinctive look; it belongs to the two-thousands taste for restyled classic boys' names while keeping the original Greek sense.
In the United States it stayed rare in this spelling, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 2008, with use into the twenty-tens. A boy named Daimien then is a young adult today.
