Damontae is a unique and distinctively American given name, derived from the blend of two popular names: Damian and Monty. The name Damian originates from Latin, meaning 'to tame' or 'to curb', while Monty is a diminutive of Montgomery, which means 'mountain' in English. Thus, Damontae could be interpreted as 'taming the mountain'. This name has gained popularity in recent decades, with its earliest records appearing in the United States during the 1970s. It's often spelled creatively, with variations such as DaMontae, D'Amontae, and others, reflecting the personal touch many parents add to their children's names.
The name Damontae has seen fluctuations in popularity over the past three decades, with a notable peak in usage around the late 1990s to early 2000s. The highest number of births recorded in a single year was 39 in 2007, while the lowest was 8 in both 1990 and 1991. Overall, there have been a total of 618 babies named Damontae from 1990 to 2023.
