damari is English in Origin.

Damari is a modern American given name that likely arose as a streamlined, unisex offshoot of Damaris and as part of the -mari naming wave (Amari, Jamari, Kamari) prominent in African-American communities. Damaris is the New Testament Greek name borne by a woman in Acts 17:34, generally traced to Greek damalis "heifer, young calf," figuratively "gentle." Damari also overlaps phonically with Amari and Amariah, which carry Hebrew theophoric roots.

In U.S. records the name gains traction from the 1990s onward, used chiefly for boys yet remaining unisex. Spellings and close variants include Demari, De'Mari, Da'Mari, Damary, Damarie, and the related forms Damaris, Demario, and Jamari. Meaning depends on the pathway chosen: through Damaris it suggests "gentle; calf," while association with Amari/Amariah yields readings such as "promised by God" or "strength." Modern usage often favors its rhythmic sound over a single fixed meaning.
