Dabid Origin and Meaning

The name Dabid is a boy's name of Basque origin.

Dabid is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of David, a classic Hebrew name meaning 'beloved'. This alternative spelling might reflect regional pronunciation differences in certain cultures or languages where the 'v' sound is closer to a 'b' sound, such as in some Spanish dialects or other linguistic contexts. While David ranks among the most enduringly popular names worldwide, Dabid remains extremely uncommon. The altered spelling maintains the same biblical heritage and meaning while offering a slightly different visual appearance. Parents might choose this variant to honor family tradition while adding a subtle distinction, or to reflect specific cultural or dialectal pronunciation patterns.
