Dawes
About Dawes
There are lots of grandpa Daves and Davids out there, and Dawes can make an original honor name. It's right in step with the current craze for surname names that end in S: Brooks, Wells, Rhodes etc. Given to just 31 boys since it first appeared in the US stats back in 1924, it is a very rare choice, perhaps owing to the fact it sounds like doors.
Pronounced DAWZ.
As of October 2026, Dawes ranked #12467 in US births in 2020 SSA, peaked at #3079 in 1924.
