Dómaso is a masculine name of Spanish origin, derived from the Greek name 'Damasos,' which means 'to tame' or 'to subdue.' It's related to the ancient name Damasus, which was borne by a notable 4th-century pope, Saint Damasus I. The name carries historical significance in Spanish-speaking countries but remains relatively uncommon compared to more popular Spanish names. The accent on the first syllable (Dó-ma-so) gives it a distinct rhythmic pronunciation.

Its meaning suggesting gentleness or the ability to calm makes it symbolically significant while its relative rarity gives it a distinguished quality.
