Meaning & origin
Dabid is a rare spelling variant of David, a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'beloved'. While David has been a perennial favorite in the United States, Dabid has never appeared in the top 1000. According to Social Security data, it was first recorded in 1962 and saw its peak usage in 1981, though even then the number of births was very small. The name's trajectory has been stable but exceedingly uncommon, with no top states showing significant usage. Dabid offers a distinctive alternative to the classic David while retaining its familiar sound and meaning.
Dabid is a variant of David, which derives from the Hebrew name דָּוִד (Dawid), meaning 'beloved'. It is a relatively rare spelling found occasionally in English-speaking countries since the mid-20th century.
