History & Origin

Demone is a coined name rather than an inherited one, joining the popular De- prefix to a -mone ending that echoes Damon (Greek, 'to tame'). It sits with a cluster of De- inventions from the later twentieth century, chosen for their smooth rhythm rather than a set meaning.

It was never common, a couple dozen boys a year around the mid-nineteen-seventies. It reads as an of-its-moment coinage rather than a name coming back.

Did you know? Demone belongs to the era's family of De- names, built like Deandre and Demond from a bright opening and a familiar sound.
