About Davy
Davy (or Davey) is a little-used member of the trendy new group of boyish nicknames for girls, which includes Stevie, Scottie, and Billie. Maybe that's because there's no good feminine form of David -- we have heard Davette and Davida, but don't recommend them. But Davy could be cute for girl.
Pronounced DAY-vee.
As of October 2026, Davy ranked #5966 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4181 in 2021.
Editor's take: The name Davy is a girl's name meaning "beloved".
