Dametra is a distinctive and uncommon given name, believed to have originated from Greek roots. It's composed of two elements: "dam-" and "-etra," which are derived from the Greek words "damar" meaning "tame" or "subdue" and "eternos" meaning "everlasting." Thus, Dametra could be interpreted as signifying something like "to tame eternally" or "everlasting taming." Despite its potential meaning, it's important to note that Dametra is not a well-established name in popular culture or history, making it quite unique. It has gained some traction recently, with a small but growing number of individuals bearing this name, mostly in English-speaking countries. However, it remains largely unfamiliar and may evoke curiosity when encountered.
The name Dametra reached its peak popularity during the late 70s with 10 births recorded both in 1977 and again in 1979. The number of newborn girls named Dametra has since declined, averaging around 6 births per year from 1980 to 1983.
