Neither Damian nor Damien means anything like 'demon'. Etymology matters!

I believe it is a pop culture connection. There is a classic horror movie in which the "bad or possessed" kid is named Damian and the characters draw that connection to it's similarities to demon. Thus because of the pop culture association that is how the false etymology took root.

I read that somewhere. It must’ve been untrue. Thanks for telling me.
