History & Origin
Daveigh is a modern feminine form of David, the Hebrew name meaning beloved, styled with a soft French-looking -eigh ending. Much of its visibility traces to the child actress Daveigh Chase, known for film and television roles in the early two-thousands. The name appears in United States records from the early 2000s, reached a quiet high early that decade, and stayed rare. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Daveigh from the early 2000s would be in her early twenties now, of that brief moment of visibility. It is not a broad revival; the name remains a distinctive, uncommon feminine take on David rather than a mainstream choice.
