Meaning & origin
Davied is an uncommon variant of David, a perennially popular name with deep biblical roots. Records from the Social Security Administration show Davied first appeared in 1914, with occasional births since; its peak year was 1930, though even then usage was sparse. The name has remained extremely rare, never achieving a rank in the US top 1000, and the one-in-N likelihood is too low to calculate. The trajectory has been stable but minimal, with no recent surge. As a spelling variation, Davied offers a distinctive twist on a classic name, appealing to parents who want something familiar yet unique. Top states of usage are not available due to low counts.
Davied is a rare variant form of David, which derives from the Hebrew name דוד (Dawid), meaning 'beloved'. David is a biblical name borne by the second king of Israel, a figure of central importance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Throughout history, David has been consistently used across English-speaking and European cultures, appearing in many vernacular forms. The spelling Davied is an uncommon anglicized variant that has seen sporadic use, particularly in the early 20th century.
