Meaning & origin
Damary is a uncommon feminine name with Spanish roots, first recorded in U.S. data in 1959. Its highest usage came in 1977, when it reached its peak year. Since then, it has maintained a stable but low frequency of births, never entering the national top 1000 rankings. The name is likely a creative compound of 'dama' (lady) and 'María', a common pattern in Spanish naming traditions. While it has no notable rankings or top-state concentrations, it remains a distinctive choice within Hispanic communities.
Damary appears to be a modern Spanish name, formed by blending 'dama' (lady, from Latin 'domina') with 'María' (Mary). It may have originated in Puerto Rico or among U.S. Hispanic communities. The name has been in use since at least the mid-20th century, with a notable peak in the 1970s.
