Damone is Greek in Origin.
Damone is a modern American masculine given name ultimately derived from the Greek Damon (Δάμων), itself from the verb damazō “to tame, subdue.” The classical tale of Damon and Pythias, emblematic of unwavering loyalty and friendship, helped lend the root name a moral aura.
The Damone spelling reflects an Italianate -e ending and also appears as an Italian surname (see singer Vic Damone), which helped familiarize the form in the United States. As a given name it saw modest use from the 1970s onward, especially in African-American communities, as a stylistic variant of Damon and a cousin to Damian/Damien (from Δαμιανός). Short forms include Damo and Mone; close variants are Damon and Damion, with related forms Damian, Damien, and Italian Damiano. The core meaning remains “tamer, subduer,” often interpreted as self-mastery and steadfast friendship.
