Origin:

hebrew

Name Root:

yàdad > dâvid / dâvı ̂yd > DĀWĪḎ

Meaning:*

This name derives from the Hebrew “Yàdad > Dâvid / Dâvı ̂yd > Dāwīḏ,” meaning “beloved,
loved by God.” David (~1040–970 BC), son of Jesse, was the second king of Israel during the
first half of the 10th century BC. His occurrences, dating back to the Jewish era, are told in the
first and second book of Samuel, in the first book of Kings, and the first book of Chronicles.
David’s life is of particular importance in the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam. In Judaism, David was a member of Judah’s tribe, the king of Israel, and the
Messiah’s descendant. Saint David (Welsh: Dewi Sant; ~500–589) was a Christian monk and
Welsh bishop, venerated as a saint by both the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church. He is
the patron saint of Wales.
