What is the meaning of the name Dawid ?

The baby name Dawid is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈdavit/; respelling: "DAH-veed" (Polish pronunciation).

Dawid is Hebrew in Origin.

Dawid is the Polish and Afrikaans form of the Biblical name David, ultimately from Hebrew Dawid/David (דוד), rooted in dwd “beloved” or “dear.” In Polish it is pronounced DAH-veed. The meaning is typically rendered as “beloved” and, by extension, “dear friend.”

Contemporary diminutives include Dawidek and Dawcio in Polish and Dawie in Afrikaans.
