Davina is in Origin.
Davina is the feminine diminutive of David, formed with the Scots-English suffix -ina and ultimately traced to Hebrew Dawid, meaning beloved. The diminutive lends Davina the nuance of little beloved or beloved one. Though not a biblical female name, it shares the cultural resonance of King David, the revered poet-king of Israel.
The name took firm root in Scotland from the 17th century and later spread through England and the wider Commonwealth, with modern visibility from broadcaster Davina McCall and Lady Davina Windsor. Documented variants include Davida, Davinia, and the rarer Davidina; related short forms include Vina, Dina, and Dee. Devina appears as a lookalike spelling but is often treated as separate, tied to divine rather than David. Across modern usage, Davina blends vintage Scottish polish with an enduring meaning of affection.
