History & Origin

Damyon respells Damian, the English form of the Greek Damianos. The root is usually traced to 'daman,' 'to tame' or 'to subdue.' Saint Damian, martyred with his brother Cosmas, carried the name through the Christian centuries, and it re-emerged strongly in twentieth-century America.

This particular spelling was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 2001, while Damian and Damien were far more familiar. A boy named Damyon then is in his early twenties today.

Did you know? Damyon's parent name honors Saint Damian, who with his twin Cosmas was remembered as a physician who treated the sick without charge, making Damian a quietly healing name.
