Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek noun δαμασίχθων (damasichthon) meaning "earth-subduer", which consists of the Greek verb δαμάζω (damazo) meaning "to tame, to subdue, to overpower, to kill" (see DAMASOS) and the Greek noun 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 characters, among which was a king of Thebes.
