Dammion is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'damnum', meaning 'loss' or 'harm'. It is an uncommon name but one that holds historical significance. In ancient Roman law, a 'dammum' was a penalty for harm done to another person's property. The name may have been used as a given name in some early Roman families, though it is not well-attested. Today, Dammion remains a unique choice for parents seeking an unusual and distinctive name for their child.
There were 16 babies named Dammion between 1974 and 2003, with peaks of five births each in 1974 and 1993, and six births in 2003.
