Origin: Greek

Meaning: To tame, subdue

Demian is a respelling of the Greek names Damon and Damian, meaning "to tame" and "subdue." This strong and unstoppable pick takes inspiration from the healer and 4th-century martyr, Saint Damian, and Damia, the Greek goddess of fertility. With such a striking name, you'll undoubtedly discover that your little rascal just can't be tamed! Despite being quite popular during the 1970s, Demian fell into obscurity at the turn of the century. Nowadays, it appears to be making a comeback along with Damien, Damen, and Daemon.
