Meaning & origin

Damacio is a rare masculine name of uncertain but likely Greek origin, probably a variant of Damaso meaning 'from Damascus'. First recorded in the United States in 1914, it reached its peak popularity in 1935, though it has never been a common name. Since 2010, its usage has been declining, and it currently remains unranked with fewer than 5 births per year. The name has not been strongly associated with any particular state, reflecting its scattered, minimal usage over the decades.

Damacio is likely a variant of Damaso, which itself comes from the Greek name Damaskenos, meaning 'from Damascus'. The name may also be connected to the Spanish and Italian forms, though its exact derivation is uncertain. It has seen sporadic use in the United States, particularly in the early 20th century.
