Damyrah is an uncommon, yet elegant and distinctive given name of unknown origin. It is believed to have been coined as a unique blend of popular names from the mid-20th century, such as Damita and Rhoda. The name has gained limited popularity in recent years, with a small number of births recorded annually since the late 1980s. Damyrah is often associated with African American culture and is sometimes connected to Hebrew influences due to its similarity to the Hebrew name Darah (דרה), which means 'to submit' or 'be humble'. However, it's important to note that there is no direct etymological link between these names. Those named Damyrah may choose to emphasize its uniqueness by spelling it with variant forms such as Dahmyra or Damiray.
In 2018, there were five babies named Damyrah born annually.
