History & Origin

Damonica is a coinage that joins a Da- prefix to Monica, a name of debated origin often linked to Latin monere ('to advise') and borne by the mother of Saint Augustine. It appears in United States records from around 1968 and reached a small high around 1990. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.

A girl named Damonica then would be in her thirties now, a later coinage in this group. It reads as a flowing, invented name that carries a familiar name inside it; it has not revived but its Monica core keeps it approachable.

Did you know? Damonica tucks the whole of Monica inside a longer name, keeping that saint's-name ring at its heart.
