Featured in baby name books
Damian is a Greek name meaning “to tame” or “one who subdues.” Saint Damian, martyred with his brother Cosmas, is the patron of hairdressers, and the name is related to Damon. Damian lost some favor after the devil's son Damien in The Omen films, while actor Damian Lewis has made it fashionable again. Damian is also glossed as “constant.”
