Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “damnáō (δαμνάω) damázō (δαμάζω), which in turn derives from the Sanskrit “dāmyati,” meaning “tame, overpower, subdue, conquer, vanquish.” Damon, son of Damonides, was a Greek musicologist of the 5th-century. He is credited as a teacher and advisor of Pericles. Damon’s expertise was supposed to be musicology, although some believed this was a cover for a broader influence on Pericles’ politics. In Greek mythology, the legend of Damon and Pythias (or Phintias) symbolizes trust and loyalty in a real friendship.
