Demona is a unisex given name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word "demonius," meaning demonic or belonging to a demon. It gained popularity as a female name in fantasy literature and pop culture during the late 20th century. The name Demona was notably used by the character Demona Macbeth in the animated television series "Gargoyles" (1994-1997), created by Greg Weisman, which may have contributed to its increased usage among parents naming their daughters during that time period.
The name Demona experienced three peaks in popularity over time, with five babies named Demona each in the years 1956, 1973, and 1999.
