History & Origin

Dameron comes to the given-name column from the surname side, a French-derived family name later common in English-speaking regions. Its brief life as a girl's first name likely reflects either that surname being repurposed or a sound-built coinage, and we flag that the exact reason is unclear.

Dameron surfaced in the American records for essentially one year, given to only about fifteen girls around 1969 before disappearing. A girl named Dameron then would be in her late fifties today, marking it a fleeting late-sixties choice.

Did you know? Dameron is far better documented as a family name than a first name, so a girl given it was almost certainly wearing a surname as a personal name, a fashion that runs through American naming.
