Damien

Meaning: (To Tame, Subdue, Saint Damian was martyred with his twin brother Cosmo in Syria early in the 4th century. They are the patron saints of physicians. Due his renown, the name came into general use in Christian Europe. Another saint by this name was Peter Damian, an 11th-century cardinal and theologian from Italy.)

Origin: (Greek, English, Polish)

Pronunciation: (DAY-mee-ən (English), DAHM-yahn (Polish))

Damien I have used as a character name. The only down side is this name has been used a lot recently in both books and on T.V. Nice name for any era.
