I've never heard of daemons outside a programming context

They were divine beings above humans and below gods, they're probably the main inspiration for both angels and demons in Christianity

They were demons but with a funny æ

Nope, daemon is just the Latin spelling. Sometimes we use it nowadays for fun to mean different things.

I recently read it in a book. It was used for an evolved human form. That was my first time seeing it other than programming too

They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.
