Damiyan, derived from the Greek name Damian, is of Latin origin and means "to tame" or "to subdue." It is believed to have been used during the Middle Ages in England, where it was likely introduced by the Normans. The name gained popularity in the United States during the 20th century but remains relatively uncommon worldwide. Damiyan does not follow a specific saint's day celebration, as Damian is associated with multiple saints across various religions and cultures.
"Only six babies named Damiyan were born annually between 2006 and now."
