History & Origin

Damariz spells Damaris the Spanish way. Damaris is Greek, borne by a woman of Athens in Acts 17:34, and is commonly linked to a root meaning 'calf' or, more loosely, 'gentle one'. The name travelled through Reformation-era Bible reading into Puritan England and later into Spanish-speaking communities, where the -z spelling took hold (said 'dah-MAH-rees').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records, chiefly in Latino families. Rare, biblical, and gentle.

Did you know? Damaris is named in a single verse of Acts, among the few in Athens who believed Paul; Damariz is the Spanish-language spelling that Latin American families have carried, with the crisp -z ending.
