Meaning & History
Derived from Greek δαμασίχθων (damasichthon) meaning "earth-subduer", which consists of δαμάζω (damazo) meaning "to tame, subdue, overpower, kill" (see Damasos) and χθών (chthon) meaning "ground, soil" as well as "earth, world".In Greek mythology, this was an epithet of the sea-god Poseidon. It was also the name of several other characters, among which was a king of Thebes.
