Damiya

Meaning of Damiya

Damiya unfolds as a delightful blend of global flair and intimate charm. With roots that trace to Arabic whispers—where it’s often understood to mean “gentle” or “steadfast”—and a nod to ancient Greek myth as an epithet of the earth-goddess Damia, this name brings a world of stories to your daughter’s doorstep. It dances off the tongue in a breezy duh-MEE-yuh (/dəˈmiːjə/), giving her a melodic introduction in any conversation. And though just a dozen little Damiyas were born in the U.S. in 2024 (she currently ranks around 938), that under-the-radar appeal means your child will sparkle in a crowd without feeling too far off the beaten path. Warm, resilient and effortlessly unique, Damiya is the kind of name that grows with her—from shy baby giggles to bold first-day-of-school smiles.
