History & Origin

Davied is a minor respelling of David, the Hebrew name meaning beloved that has stayed in constant use for millennia. The transposed letters reflect a variant or clerical spelling, not a distinct origin.

It was never a recognized standard, given to only about twenty boys a year at most, and it stayed a rare curiosity beside its ubiquitous parent. A boy named Davied at its small peak would be in his sixties today. Most families simply used the classic David spelling.

Did you know? The parent name David comes from the Hebrew Dawid, beloved, and belongs to the young shepherd who felled Goliath and became king of Israel.
