Behind the name....


Look likes there are so many ways to said or explained about the common and simple boy name like 'Damien' so much. Since THE OMEN trilogy is the very famous and popular horror movie series in everyone's heart who really love the classic or masterpiece horror movie . Even this series movie has been ending for the very long time but they still have many people who still interest in this movie and the boy who was called 'Damien Thorn' (I'm one of them lol) They still talk and wonder about Damien 's name ...
So,I think this is the very perfect time that I will tell you about his name...

The original version of this name come from Greece and the other version of this name is Damian.

Even the name "Damien" sounds so devilish like the English "demon", but it is not like that anymore. It can  relates as the meaning as "he subdues".  Damien is the French form of the English name Damian (Greek Damao, meaning "to tame"), popular as the name of a martyred Christian saint of the third century (Saints Cosmas and Damian). 

Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai, SS.CC. (Dutch: Pater Damiaan or Heilige Damiaan van Molokai) His born name is Jozef De Veuster. He is a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium and member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,a missionary religious club. He wins the recognition for his ministry to people with leprosy (also known as Hansen's disease), who had been placed under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine on the island of Molokaʻi in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi completely.



See...? Damien isn't the devil name or satanic name anymore....
It's just THE OMEN Main character name only...

Personally,I feel annoy a bit that many people still think Damien is the satanic name :/ without any researches or knowledge anymore....
