History & Origin
Dametria is an American variant of Demetria, the feminine of Demetrius, 'devoted to Demeter,' the Greek goddess of the harvest. The Da- reshaping reflects a later-twentieth-century taste for softening classical names, and Dametria appears thinly in the records, well behind the standard Demetria.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1975. A girl named Dametria then is in her early fifties today.
