I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the meaning or origin of this name. This is my friend's name, pronounced O-da-MAR-is. She was born in the 1980's in Mexico. I recently asked her about her name because it's so rare and all her siblings have names I have heard before. She said that her grandmother found it in the Bible. Neither of us have ever seen this name in the Bible. The closest thing I have found in Damaris, though it is not pronounced very similarly. I know there is a Mexican actress named Odemaris Ruiz and have seen a few others with the name when Googled, though I don't know if any of these people pronounce it the same. Her grandmother has passed and no one seems to know what happened to this Bible. Does anyone have any clues?
