Dametria is of African-American origin, derived from the Latin word 'damnum', which means 'loss'. It gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s as a unique alternative to traditional names. The name Dametria consists of two parts: 'Dame' and 'tria', with 'dame' meaning 'lady' or 'woman', and 'tria' being derived from the Latin numeral for three. Therefore, Dametria could be interpreted as 'Lady Three'.
