Meaning & origin

Daveena is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1970. It reached its peak in 2012, but has been declining in use since then. The name is likely a feminine variant of David, drawing from the Scottish Davina, but its spelling with an 'e' suggests a modern respelling to distinguish it. Despite its low usage, Daveena offers a distinctive alternative to more common names like Davina or Deanna.

Daveena appears to be a modern coinage, likely inspired by the Scottish name Davina (the feminine form of David) or by names ending in the popular suffix -eena. It is not a traditional name with a long history but has been recorded in the United States since at least the 1970s, with a peak in 2012.
