Damiris
d(a)-mi-ris
Origin:Greek
Meaning:Calf; Heifer; Girl; Wife
Spelled with two i's instead of two a's, the feminine name Damiris showcases the beauty of subtle change. As a variant of Damaris, this title may remind you of the woman whom Saint Paul converted to Christianity in the New Testament. This woman's name, Damaris, derived from damalis, a Greek word that also lends its definitions to Damiris. Meaning "calf," "heifer," "girl," or "wife," Damaris and Damiris speak of the constant renewal and growth life brings. While your little one might not spend too much time thinking about the future in their earliest years, their name will help them see that they can become whoever they want to be.
