About the name Dámaso
Dámaso belongs to the Spanish tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Dámaso first appears in Social Security records in 1953. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #2825 in 1966, and in 2024 6 babies received the name — 275 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
