Meaning & origin
Dawid is the Polish form of David, a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'beloved'. First recorded in U.S. data in 1993, it reached its peak popularity in 2008 and has been rising in use since 2022. In the latest year, approximately 1 in 341,615 newborns were named Dawid, reflecting its steady but modest presence. Though not among the top names, its strong cultural roots in Poland and connection to the biblical King David give it enduring appeal.
Dawid is the Polish form of David, from the Hebrew name דָּוִד (Dawid), meaning 'beloved' or 'friend'. It has been used in Poland since the Middle Ages, particularly among Christians, and remains a common name in Polish-speaking communities. The name gained broader international recognition through figures like King David of Israel.
