Diamantis is Greek in Origin.

Diamantis is a Greek masculine given name and surname deriving from Modern Greek diamánti “diamond,” itself ultimately rooted in Ancient Greek adámas “unconquerable.” Through Medieval and Old French diamant, the sense returned to Greek as the everyday word for the gemstone, so the name carries connotations of brilliance, rarity, and resilience.

Used across Greece, Cyprus, and the Greek diaspora, Diamantis appears both as a baptismal name and as a family name, sometimes reflecting an ancestor’s trade in precious stones. Recorded steadily in the 19th and 20th centuries, it remains recognizable though relatively uncommon today. Common variants and transliterations include Diamantís (Διαμαντής), Diamandis, and the patronymic Diamantidis; a related surname is Diamantopoulos. Feminine counterparts are Diamantó (Diamanto), Diamanda, Diamantina, and the diminutive Diamantoula. Cognate rather than variant is Adamantios/Adamantia, preserved directly from adámas with the meaning “unyielding.”
