源于希伯来语名דִָּ㥣(Dawid),它源自希伯来语ֹּּ㥣(dod),意思是“心爱的”或“叔叔”。大卫是以色列第二位也是最伟大的国王,统治于公元前10世纪。《旧约》中讲述了几个关于他的故事,包括他打败巨人非利士人歌利亚的故事。根据新约,耶稣是他的后裔。这个名字自中世纪以来一直在英国使用。它在威尔士特别流行,用于纪念5世纪的威尔士守护神(也称为德威),在苏格兰,它由两位国王所生。在过去的一个世纪里,它一直是英语世界最受欢迎的名字之一,从未离开美国男孩的前30名,并在1950年代和60年代达到英格兰和威尔士的最高排名。在西班牙,它是20世纪七八十年代最流行的男孩名字。著名的保持者包括经验主义哲学家大卫·休谟(1711-1776)、探险家大卫·利文斯通(1813-1873)、音乐家大卫·鲍伊(1947-2016)和足球运动员大卫·贝克汉姆(1975-)。这也是查尔斯·狄更斯半自传体小说《大卫·科波菲尔》(1850)中主人公的名字。
