History & Origin
Damontay is a contemporary coinage that stretches Damon or Damonte with a fashionable -tay flourish, a pattern common in African American naming around the turn of the twenty-first century. The names in this family were built for sound and individuality rather than passed down. Through Damon it faintly carries a Greek sense tied to taming or to the people.
Damontay was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its high around 2001, and it faded soon after. A boy named Damontay then would be in his twenties today.
