What is the meaning of the name Daemian ?

Daemian is Greek in Origin.

Daemian is a modern Anglophone respelling of Damian, ultimately from Greek Damianos, derived from the verb damazo “to tame, subdue.” Through Latin Damianus, the name came to mean “tamer” or “one who subdues.” The ae in Daemian is a stylistic vowel pairing echoing classical spellings, but it does not change the pronunciation, typically DAY-mee-ən.

Usage spread via the cult of Saint Damian, the physician-martyr paired with his twin Cosmas, revered across the Roman and Byzantine worlds. The name appears in medieval European records and was later revived in English and French; its popularity rose again in the late 20th century. Variants include Damian, Damien, Damion, Dameon, and international forms Damián (Spanish), Damião (Portuguese), Damiano (Italian), Damiaan (Dutch), Damjan/Damijan (South Slavic), and Damianos (Greek). Feminine counterparts are Damiana and Damianna.
