Meaning & origin
Damiah is a modern, rare name first recorded in the United States in 1998. It peaked in popularity in 2012, but since then its usage has been declining steadily. As of 2025, it ranked 10,107th, with roughly 1 in every 178,585 baby girls receiving the name. The name appears to be a creative blend, likely influenced by the -iah suffix that has been fashionable in recent decades. While its exact origins are unclear, Damiah exemplifies the trend of unique, phonetically pleasing names that have emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Its use is concentrated entirely in the United States, with no significant presence in top state rankings.
Damiah is a modern invented name, first recorded in the United States in 1998. It appears to be formed by blending sounds from established names such as Damaris (a Greek name possibly meaning 'calf' or 'gentle') or Tamia (a short form of Tamara, from the Hebrew Tamar, meaning 'date palm') with the popular -iah suffix seen in names like Jeremiah and Maria. The name has no long history of use and remains relatively rare.
