## Etymology

* Damien is the French form of Damian is from the Greek name *Δαμιανός (Damianos)*, which was derived from Greek *δαμάζω (damazo)* meaning "to tame". Saint Damian was martyred with his twin brother Cosmas in Syria early in the 4th century. They are the patron saints of physicians. Due to 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.
* Farrokh means "happy, auspicious" in Persian.
* Orlando is the Italian form of Roland which is from the Germanic elements *hrod* meaning "fame" and *landa* meaning "land", though some theories hold that the second element was originally *nand* meaning "brave". Roland was a semi-legendary French hero whose story is told in the medieval epic *La Chanson de Roland*, in which he is a nephew of Charlemagne killed in battle with the Saracens. The Normans introduced this name to England.
	+ It is used in the epic poems *Orlando Innamorato* (1483) by Matteo Maria Boiardo and *Orlando Furioso* (1532) by Ludovico Ariosto. A character in Shakespeare's play *As You like It* (1599) also bears this name, as does a city in Florida.
* Rashid means "rightly guided" in Arabic. In Islamic tradition الرشيد (al-Rashid) is one of the 99 names of Allah. Morenos is a variant of Moreno which is from a nickname meaning "dark" in Spanish and Portuguese.

## Trivia

* Damien is of Spanish, Portuguese, Iberian Jewish, Russian, Romani and Serbian descent from his mother; through his father Damien is of Palestinian, Saudi Arabian and Israeli descent.
* His godparents are Bashira Alzahrani, Althea Morenos and Nicholas Sedita.
* Just like his siblings, Damien is severely allergic to peppermints. In his case, Damien's tongue swells up like Blue and her skin breaks out in hives like Mars.
* Aelita though of the name *Christopher* for Damien but changed her mind, not wanting her child to metaphorically to die for his father's sins.
