Damiana

Meaning of Damiana

Pronounced duh-MEE-uh-nuh, Damiana is a melodic gem of Greek origin, the feminine spark of Damian, born from “damazo,” meaning to tame or subdue. In an Indian courtyard under starlit skies, the name feels like the gentle flicker of a diya—radiant, steady, nurturing. It whispers of the sun-kissed Damiana herb known for its uplifting charm, blending playful spirit with quiet strength. Though it dances just shy of the top 900 in recent US baby charts, that rarity is its magic. Damiana weaves old-world grace and modern warmth into a tapestry that inspires every little girl to blossom boldly and lead with kindness.
