Damarco

Meaning of Damarco

Damarco is a masculine given name of Italianate onomastic origin, constructed from the locative particle da and the Latin-rooted Marco—a derivative of Marcus, itself a patronymic nod to Mars; in American English it is pronounced /dəˈmɑrkoʊ/. First recorded in the United States in 1978 with seven births at rank 674, the name has exhibited moderate yet persistent presence over subsequent decades, as Social Security Administration data from 1978 through 2024 reveal incidence fluctuating between five and thirty-five annual occurrences and corresponding ranks primarily within the 700s and 800s, culminating most recently in seven occurrences at rank 917 in 2024. This longitudinal profile indicates a stable niche adoption, emblematic of late-20th and early-21st-century Anglo-American preferences for composite names that harmonize novelty with classical resonance. Morphologically and semantically, Damarco conveys martial heritage and familial lineage, appealing to parents who seek a name combining technical precision with historical depth.
