What Does the Name Demiyah Mean?
Demiyah is a feminine given name whose meaning is uncertain. It does not have a securely established derivation from a single older name. The spelling resembles the Arabic name Damiyah, which is close to dāmiʿah (دَامِعَة), "tearful," from the root d-m-ʿ, and the separate Arabic name Dima (دِيمَة), "lasting rain." It also resembles the Greek name Damia, from damazō (δαμάζω), "to tame." These are distinct names with different roots, and the resemblance alone does not show that Demiyah comes from any of them.
Demiyah Name History & Origins
The name is used in English as a girl's name, especially in spellings ending in -iyah. That ending appears in many English-language feminine names, but it does not by itself identify a specific source. Arabic Dima and Damiyah and Greek Damia each have their own histories; those histories do not belong to Demiyah unless a direct connection can be shown. For Demiyah itself, the historical development is unclear.
