What is the meaning of the name Davitah ?

Davitah is Hebrew in Origin.

Davitah is a modern feminine elaboration of David, ultimately from Hebrew Dawid, derived from dod “beloved.” While David has been borne for millennia across Jewish and Christian traditions - most famously by the biblical king and psalmist - overtly feminine forms are relatively recent.

The meaning mirrors David’s: “beloved,” with overtones of affection and cherished kinship.

Close variants and spellings include Davida, Davita, Davidah, and Davitah without the internal i (Davtah is extremely uncommon). Related cognates include Davina and Davinia in the British tradition. Possible nicknames are Davi, Vita, Vi, and Davey. Masculine counterparts include David, Davide (Italian), Dávid (Hungarian), Dafydd (Welsh), and Davíð (Icelandic).
