History & Origin
Damin is best read as a variant of Damian or Damon, Greek names connected to daman ('to tame') and demos ('the people'). It appears in United States records from around 1966 and reached a small high around 1975. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.
A boy named Damin then would be in his fifties now, part of the wider Damian-and-Damon wave. The clipped spelling gives it a modern, streamlined look; it has not broken out, with parents choosing the fuller Damian or Damon instead.
