Damarious is English in Origin.

Damarious is a modern American given name, particularly within African-American naming traditions. It blends the Da-/De- prefix with Mario/Marius and mirrors the classical -ius ending, also echoing Demetrius or the biblical Damaris. Via Marius (Latin, from Mars) it conveys “of Mars; warlike,” while the Damaris link brings the Greek sense of “gentle/tamed” (from damazō) or “calf.” The result is a contemporary coinage balancing martial strength with softer, pastoral undertones.

Used in the United States since the late 20th century, the name gained visibility in the 1990s–2000s alongside creative -rius names. Variant spellings include Damarius, Demarius, Damarrius, and Demarious, as well as D’Marious/De’Marious; related forms are Demario/Damario, Damarion, and Damaris. Occasional nicknames include Mari and Rio.
