Damiah is of Hebrew origin and means "gentle as a gazelle". It's a unique, melodic name that combines elements from traditional Hebrew names like Diana and Amia, making it both recognizable and distinctive. Damiah was first used in the United States during the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, perhaps adding to its allure for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child. Pronounced as DAH-mee-uh, this name offers a beautiful blend of vowels that can make it a joy to say and hear. Damiah is often associated with nature and gentleness due to its literal translation, which could inspire children named after it to cultivate empathy and kindness towards others, much like the graceful gazelle.
The name Damiah saw a significant increase in popularity from the late 1990s to the mid-2010s, peaking with 26 births in 2012. Since then, it has seen a steady decline, with only 5 births recorded in 2023. Over the entire period from 1998 to 2023, there were a total of 395 babies named Damiah.
