What Does the Name Dmon Mean?
Dmon is an uncommon spelling that is usually treated as a variant of the masculine name Damon. Damon comes from ancient Greek. The Greek name Δάμων (Damon) is formed from δαμάω (damaō), a verb meaning "to tame" or "to subdue." The name's literal sense is therefore "tamer" or "one who subdues." The spelling Dmon is not the ancient Greek form; it drops the a of Damon and belongs to modern name variation. Because the link to Damon is a customary explanation rather than an independently documented derivation, the meaning of Dmon is best given as "tamer; subduer" only if that variant relationship is accepted.
Dmon Name History & Origins
The history of the name belongs mainly to Damon. In Greek tradition, Damon is one of the two friends in the story of Damon and Pythias. According to the tale, Pythias was condemned to death by the tyrant Dionysius of Syracuse; he asked to return home first to settle his affairs, and Damon pledged his own life as surety. When Pythias returned, the tyrant released them both. The story was told in antiquity and later became a standard example of loyal friendship. Damon was also the name of a fifth-century BC Athenian music theorist and sophist. The name passed from Greek into Latin and then into English, where it became an established given name. Dmon is a modern spelling variant of Damon; the ancient forms of the name are those of Damon. It is not related to the English word demon, which derives from Greek daimōn, a different term for a spirit or divine power.
