Our story of Damoni
Our story of Damoni is a story of a kit of parts. American families from the late twentieth century have built given names from a stock of fronts — Da-, De-, Ja- — and endings — -moni, -mari, -rion — producing names that belong to no borrowed tradition. Damoni, Damari and Damarion come out of the same set. Nearby sits the Greek Damon, a real name meaning 'to tame', which is not the source. Damoni appears in the registers from the 1990s.

Line the two peaks up, and Markanthony's path sketches the road Damoni is walking now.
