Origin and meaning of Davide
Davide comes from the Hebrew Dawid, 'beloved, cherished'. It is the name of the young shepherd who, having defeated Goliath, became the great king of Israel and author of the Psalms: a symbol of courage, faith and poetic sensitivity. Immortalised by Michelangelo's David, it is widespread across the Jewish and Christian world; David and Dawid make it an international classic.
