Davidek is in Origin.

Davidek is a Slavic diminutive of David, most closely associated with Czech usage, where the standard spelling is Davídek. Formed with the affectionate suffix -ek, it conveys “little David” or “dear David.” The base name David comes from Hebrew Dawid/Dāwīd, meaning “beloved,” made enduringly popular by the biblical King David and carried throughout Europe by Jewish and Christian traditions.

In Central and Eastern Europe, Davidek/Davídek has long functioned as a homey pet form for boys named David and, since the late 20th century, occasionally appears as an independent given name. Variant forms include Czech Davídek, Polish Dawidek, and Slovak Dávidko/Davídko; related standards are David (English/Czech), Dawid (Polish), and Dávid (Slovak/Hungarian). Outside diacritic-using contexts, Davidek is a common transliteration. While still rare internationally, it is familiar in Czech and Slovak communities and among families with Central European or Ashkenazi heritage.
