Meaning: God, protective spirit

Daemon is a masculine name of Greek origin. Coming from the word daimon, It translates to “god,” or “protective spirit.” While it may look like it has negative connotations—similar to “demon,”—it actually has a broader meaning for baby to enjoy. In Greek mythology, daemons were seen as both guiding spirits or as a personification of the human soul. If you’re a Philip Pullman fan, this name can also connect your little one to the iconic creatures in the His Dark Materials trilogy. Whether you want baby to always feel protected or be there to protect others, the name Daemon will make for a powerful choice.
