Meaning and history
Davida is a feminine form of David used in English, Hebrew, and several European languages. David comes from Hebrew Dawid, traditionally interpreted as “beloved,” though its deeper etymology is not completely certain. The biblical King David, warrior, musician, and ancestor of the royal line, gives the name major Jewish and Christian significance. Australian painter, filmmaker, and writer Davida Allen is a notable bearer; other prominent exact-name examples are limited.
