Origin and meaning of Davi
Davi is the Brazilian Portuguese form of David, from the Hebrew Dawid (דָּוִד), meaning 'beloved' or 'the dear one'. It's the name of Israel's second king, the shepherd who defeated Goliath and became one of the Bible's central figures. In Brazil it has ranked among the most registered boys' names for years according to IBGE data, helped by its short, strong sound, while Portugal favors the variant Davide. It's loved for its biblical resonance and confident character.
