Damyann is Greek in Origin.

Damyann is a modern, stylistic respelling within the Damian/Damien family, ultimately from Greek Damianos, linked to the verb damázo “to tame, subdue.” The name spread widely through Christian tradition via the third‑century twin martyrs Cosmas and Damian - patron saints of physicians and apothecaries - and later the 11th‑century reformer Saint Peter Damian. As with its core forms, the meaning is “one who tames” or “subduer.”

In contemporary use, Damyann is rare and creative, likely influenced by parallel Slavic spellings (Damjan, Damyan) and, in Francophone settings, by the appealing –yann ending familiar from Yann. Pronunciation typically follows Damian/Damien in local usage. Close variants include Damian, Damien, Damion, Dameon, Damjan, Damyan, Damijan (Slovene), Damiaan (Dutch), Damián (Spanish), Damião (Portuguese), and Damiano (Italian), with feminine forms such as Damiana and Damianna. The core saintly associations and healing patronage remain intact across these forms.
