Daemion is Greek in Origin.

Daemion is a rare modern variant of Damian/Damien, ultimately from Latin Damianus, itself from Greek Damianos rooted in damazo "to tame, subdue." The meaning is often given as "tamer," "subduer," or "one who masters," carrying associations of self-discipline and healing. The name spread through Christian Europe via the twin physician-martyrs Saints Cosmas and Damian (3rd-4th century) and later through the reformer Peter Damian (11th century).

In use across languages for centuries - Polish Damian, Spanish Damián, French Damien, Italian Damiano, Portuguese Damião, Dutch Damiaan, Slavic Damjan - the form Damion arose in the Anglophone world in the mid-20th century. Daemion reflects the same sound as Damien (DAY-mee-ən) but stylizes the spelling with classical-looking ae, occasionally influenced by the word daemon though unrelated etymologically. Related forms and nicknames include Damian, Damien, Damion, Daymion, Damijan, and diminutives Dami and Damo.
