Damie is Greek in Origin.
Damie is a modern diminutive and sometimes independent given name derived from Damian/Damien, ultimately from the Greek Damianos (Δαμιανός), related to the verb damazō ‘to tame, subdue.’ The name’s spread in Europe owes much to the cult of Saints Cosmas and Damian, physician-martyrs of the 3rd–4th centuries, which kept Damian and its diminutives in steady use across Christendom. In contemporary English-speaking countries, Damie occurs for both boys and girls, often as a friendly nickname that has migrated to the birth certificate.
Related forms include Damian, Damien, Damion; regional variants Damiano (Italian), Damián (Spanish), Damião (Portuguese), Damian (Polish/Romanian), Damjan (South Slavic), and Damyan (Bulgarian); feminine counterparts are Damiana (Italian/Spanish), Damienne (French), and Damjana (South Slavic). Common nicknames include Dami and Damo. The core meaning is usually rendered as ‘tamer’ or ‘one who subdues,’ with a secondary association of healing and service through the cult of the physician saints.
