Of the sea; or a modern invented name
Demari is often considered a modern American creation, likely blending the popular 'De-' prefix with the name Mari or the Italian word 'mare' meaning sea. It may also be viewed as a variant of the Greek name Damaris or the African-American name Damari. Its usage is contemporary and lacks a singular ancient root.
