The name Dameon is a male given name pronounced as DAY-mee-uhn (/deɪˈmiən/). It is a variation of the names Damian and Damon, which share similar roots. The origin of Dameon can be traced back to the Greek name Damianos, meaning "to tame" or "subdue." This name carries strong historical and cultural associations, most notably with Saint Damian, an early Christian martyr who, together with his twin brother Cosmas, became the patron saint of physicians. Over the years, Dameon has seen fluctuating popularity in the United States. It peaked in 1977 when it ranked 619th but has since become less common, ranking 4586th in 2023 with just 22 occurrences.
