Damien is a given name and less frequently a surname.

The name is a variation of Damian which comes from the Greek Damianos. This form originates from the Greek derived from the Greek word δαμάζω (damazō), "(I) conquer, master, overcome, tame", in the form of δαμάω/-ῶ (damaō), a form assumed as the first person of δαμᾷ (damāi)
