Gentle or to tame; possibly a blend of Damaris and Maria.
Damaria is a modern American name likely created as a melodic elaboration of the Greek name Damaris, meaning 'gentle' or 'calf.' It may also be interpreted as a combination of the prefix 'Da-' with the classic name Maria, suggesting a meaning of 'bitter' or 'beloved.' Its usage is rare, appealing to parents seeking a rhythmic, multi-syllabic sound with traditional roots.
