Davia is a feminine given name rooted in the Hebrew David, from dōd/dôd meaning “beloved” or “friend.” Its form likely emerged through Italian and English influences: the -ia ending echoes Italian naming patterns (cf. Davide), while it can also be read as a feminized spin on Davie. Though uncommon, Davia appears in Italian records and as an Italian surname, which may have encouraged occasional use as a first name. The name carries the biblical heritage of King David while feeling light and contemporary.

In modern usage Davia remains rare but recognizable in English-speaking countries, borne by figures such as radio producer Davia Nelson and executive Davia Temin. Parents often choose it as a sleeker alternative to Davida or a softer counterpart to Davina.
