Damon

Damon is a strong, masculine name with Greek roots, derived from the word 'damazo' which means to tame. It's famously known from the story of Damon and Pythias, an ancient tale of friendship and loyalty in Greek mythology. This name gained popularity in the latter half of the 20th century, partly due to its contemporary sound. A notable modern bearer is actor Matt Damon, giving the name a Hollywood appeal. Damon has a sleek and modern feel, often chosen for its simplicity and strength.
