Meaning & origin
Davyd is the Ukrainian and Belarusian spelling of David, a name with deep biblical roots meaning 'beloved'. In the United States, it has been in use since at least 1991, though it remains rare: as of the most recent data from 2025, it has never entered the top 1000 rankings, with a peak in 2007 when it was at its highest recorded usage. The name's trajectory has been relatively stable over the decades, reflecting its consistent but niche appeal among families who connect with Ukrainian or Belarusian heritage. While Davyd has no top states where it is notably concentrated, its usage is scattered across the country. For those seeking a distinctive variant of a classic name, Davyd offers a culturally grounded alternative that honors Slavic traditions.
Davyd is the Ukrainian and Belarusian transliteration of the Hebrew name David (דָּוִד), meaning 'beloved'. It has been used in Eastern Europe for centuries and is particularly common in Ukraine and Belarus. The name is borne by saints and historical figures in the Orthodox Church.
