To tame or subdue; or a modern rhythmic creation.
Damiya is often considered a modern American variation of Damia, derived from the Greek 'damazein' meaning to tame. It may also be interpreted as a rhythmic blend of popular sounds found in names like Damaris or Amiyah. Its usage is contemporary and relatively rare in the United States.
