Damonte, of Latin origin, is a rare and distinctive given name for boys. It's derived from the Roman family name "Domitius," which was borne by several prominent figures in ancient Rome, including Emperor Domitian. The name Damonte combines the elements "domus" meaning 'house' or 'home,' and "mentum" meaning 'forehead' or 'chin.' This gives it a strong and robust sound, suggesting a person of determination and steadfastness. The name has gained some popularity in recent years due to its unique phonetics and its historical significance. It's often confused with common names like Damion or Damon, but stands out as a singular choice for those seeking an uncommon name with a rich history.
The name Damonte experienced a significant surge in popularity during the late 1980s to early 1990s, peaking with 97 births in 1997. However, it has since seen a steady decline, with only 12 births recorded in 2023. Over the span of nearly four decades (1986-2023), there have been a total of 1646 babies named Damonte.
