History & Origin

Damiah is a recent American coinage. Some families read it as a feminine of Damian, from the Greek Damianos ('to tame'); others simply hear a rhyme with Amiah and Maliah, part of a large modern -iah set. Neither route is documented, so we note the uncertainty rather than invent one (said 'duh-MY-uh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, modern, and airy.

Did you know? Damiah sits in a whole family of -iah names for girls — Amiah, Samiah, Maliah — a sound-set that has grown fast in the U.S. Whether it is truly a feminine Damian or simply a rhyme is not documented, and we say so.
