A rare female name, most commonly interpreted as a modern form of the Greek name Damaris.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Damara sa najčastejšie pokladá za novodobý variant gréckeho mena Damaris, doloženého v Novom zákone. Etymológia východiskového mena nie je istá; spája sa najmä so starogréckym slovom δάμαρ (dámar – manželka, družka), prípadne s výrazom δάμαλις (dámális – jalovica, mladé dievča). Súvislosť so slovesom δαμάζω (damázō – krotiť) je iba nepriamym výkladom spoločného slovného základu.
