History & Origin

Damaria may extend Damaris, the Greek name of a woman who heard Paul in Athens (Acts 17) and whose root is often tied to a word for 'calf' or 'gentle one'; it may equally be a modern American blend of the Da- prefix with Maria. Both routes are live, and neither is documented for this exact form, which we note (said 'duh-MAR-ee-uh').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, warm, and flowing.

Did you know? Damaria sits between two roads — Damaris, the Athenian woman named in the Book of Acts, and a straightforward Da- plus Maria blend. Which one a family has in mind varies; the routes are uncertain, which we note.
