Depending on where you are in the Dutch language area (e.g. Flanders or the Netherlands), the pronunciation of this name can be /da:.mi.'a:n/ as well as /da:.mi.'ja:n/. Personally, I use the latter pronunciation, as I am from the south of the Netherlands.Here are some sound files, all of which were made by native Flemings and refer to the famous Flemish priest Damiaan (1840-1889), who was canonized in 2009:https://www.forvo.com/search/Damiaan/ (in English) [noted -ed]
