Origin
Meaning and history of Damarrion
The name Damarrion originates from a blend of the English names Damian and Marion. It is a relatively modern name, first appearing in the late 20th century.
The name Damian has its roots in Greek, derived from the name Damianos, which means "to tame" or "to subdue." It was a popular name among early Christians, with Saint Damian being a 4th-century martyr and physician. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Damian was in the 5th century, when it was used by a bishop of Pavia in Italy.
Marion, on the other hand, has its origins in the ancient Roman name Marianus, which itself is derived from the name of the Roman god Mars. It was a common name among the Franks and was later adopted by various European cultures. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Marion was in the 8th century, when it was used by a Frankish noblewoman.
The name Damarrion appears to be a modern combination of these two names, potentially created by parents who wanted a unique and distinctive name for their child. While there are no known historical figures specifically named Damarrion, the name has gained some popularity in recent decades.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Damarrion was in the late 20th century. Damarrion Cobb, an American football player, was born in 1985. Another notable Damarrion is Damarrion Williams, an American basketball player born in 1991.
Other individuals with the name Damarrion include Damarrion Maxwell, an American football player born in 1997; Damarrion Lynn, an American football player born in 1998; and Damarrion Kendrick, an American football player born in 2000.
While the name Damarrion does not have a long historical tradition, it has gained popularity in recent years as a unique and distinctive name, blending elements of two ancient names with rich cultural and linguistic roots.

FAQ
Damarrion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Damarrion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 273 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Damarrion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,255,510 US residents.
Is Damarrion a common name?
We classify Damarrion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 78.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 276 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Damarrion most popular?
The single biggest year for Damarrion was 2010, when 26 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Damarrion is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Damarrion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Damarrion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Damarrion in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Damarrion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Damarrion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Damarrion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
