'''David''' is a common [[male]] [[given name]] and [[surname]].
	 	 
The name David is a derivation of an ancient Mesopotamian given name and appears in the Bible as the [[Biblical Hebrew]] name {{Hebrew|דָּוִד}} (''{{transl|he|Dāwīḏ}}'' &nbsp;pronunciation: {{IPA|[dɔːˈviːð]}}; [[Modern Hebrew phonology|Modern Hebrew]]: {{IPA-he|daˈvid|}}), meaning "Darling" or "Beloved". Dudi is a common [[nickname]] for David in Hebrew, while Dave and Davy are common English nicknames.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=ID_X-Zi9jEcC&pg=PA342&dq=%22Dudi+for+David%22&sig=59ZI6bNvyTxAE1_A_yW3eXMyqJk The Crosslinguistic Study of Language Acquisition – Page 342 by Dan Isaac Slobin]</ref> The [[Arabic]] and [[Akkadian language|Assyrian]] versions of David are ''Daud'' (pronounced "Da-ood") and ''{{transl|ar|ALA-LC|Dāwūd}}'' {{lang|ar|داود}} ({{IPA-ar|dæːˈwuːd, dæˈwuːd|pron}}).

[[Name day]]s are celebrated on 8 February (for [[David IV of Georgia]]), 1 March (for [[St. David|St. David of Wales]]) and 29 December (for [[King David]]), as well as 25 June ([[Saint David (Sweden)|St. David of Sweden]]), 26 June, 26 August, 11 December, and 30 December ([[Hungary]], [[Latvia]], [[Norway]]).

==Variations==

David is often shortened to "Davey/Davie/Davy" (additionally, in [[Wales]], such variants as "Dafydd" and "Dewi" and such diminutives as "Dai", "Daf" and "Taff/Taffy" are fairly common, although "Dai" was formerly a name in its own right, meaning "shining" in Welsh, prior to the reign of King Henry VII). The oldest, most popular and most commonly used diminutive form in the English speaking countries of "David" is "Dave", which first appeared in written form in the 16th century (but is probably much older). In [[Ashkenazi]] Jewish culture, including outside Israel, it is common to apply the nicknames "Dovi" and "Dov". The nickname "Dave" has been used as a name in its own right in the 19th and 20th centuries, at least in the U.S. At the height of its popularity in the 1950s and early 1960s, the name Dave was bestowed upon more than 3,000 infants each year.<ref>[http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ U.S. Social Security Administration. "Popular Baby Names."]</ref> "Davo" is also used as a nickname, and is quite common in [[Armenia]] and [[Australia]] while nickname 'Dato' for 'Davit' is popular in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. A less common variant is "Daveth", the origin of which is uncertain (but could be an anglicised form of the Welsh "Dafydd").

Female equivalents of the name David include "Davida" (no longer in common usage) and "Davina". The girl's name "Davinia" may also have originated from David, though some have argued it is actually the female version of the [[Goidelic languages|Gaelic]] name "[[Devin (name)|Devin]]".

==Statistics==
* [[United States]]: David is the second most popular masculine name in the United States. 10,905,563 (1 out of 28) Americans are named David. Approximately 92,597 Davids are born each year.<ref>pokemyname.com</ref>

* [[Northern Ireland]]: David was the most popular masculine given name for newborns in 1975 and dropped to a fluctuating rank around 20th in the first few years of the 21st century.<ref>{{cite press release
