David

Origen y significado de David

David comes from the Hebrew Dawid, 'beloved, cherished' — the name of the great biblical king who defeated Goliath and reigned over Israel. Rich in spiritual appeal, it is shared by Jews and Christians and is universally recognisable. Widespread across the English-speaking countries, Germany, Spain and Eastern Europe, it also recalls the patron saint of Wales. The Italian form is Davide. It blends tenderness and majesty, evoking both deep affection and leadership.
