Damiah is English, Greek in Origin.
Damiah is a modern feminine given name rooted in Greek. It aligns with Damia - the Doric epithet of Demeter and a fertility goddess paired with Auxesia - and with the broader family of names from Greek Damianos (source of Damian), derived from damazō “to tame, subdue, make gentle.” Through the cult of Saints Cosmas and Damian, the root spread across Europe, yielding feminine forms such as Damiana in Romance languages and sustaining use from the Middle Ages onward.
The -h ending in Damiah reflects contemporary English styling seen in names like Moriah and Amirah. Common variants include Damiyah, Damiya, Damia, and Damya; related forms are Damiana, Damiane, and the masculine Damian, Damiano, Damián. Nicknames such as Dami and Mia/Miah are frequent. The name’s meanings center on “tamer,” “subduer,” or “one who gentles,” while also echoing Demeter’s nurturing, agrarian associations.
