What Does the Name Damiah Mean?
Damiah is a variant spelling of Damia, a name from ancient Greek whose meaning is uncertain. Damia is often connected with the Greek verb δαμάζω (damazō), "to tame" or "to subdue," which also lies behind the masculine name Damian. If that link is accepted, the sense is "tamer" or "subduer." But Damia was also the name of a Greek goddess, and the goddess's name may be older than the masculine name; its origin is not securely known. The usual Greek-derived feminine forms of Damian are Damiana and Damiane.
Damiah Name History & Origins
In ancient Greek religion, Damia was worshipped together with Auxesia, especially at Epidaurus, Aegina, and Troezen. Herodotus relates that the Epidaurians, following an oracle, set up olive-wood images of Damia and Auxesia; the images were later taken to Aegina. The two goddesses were associated with fertility and the fruitfulness of the land, and Damia was sometimes identified with Demeter. The spelling Damiah adds a final h, a common English way of writing names that end in -ia. As a modern given name, Damiah is uncommon and is generally understood as a form of Damia rather than as a separate traditional name with its own independent history.
