Meaning and origin of Dawid
Dawid is the Polish spelling of David, a Hebrew name usually explained as 'beloved'. Now and then it is also used to transliterate the Arabic Dāwūd, the prophet David of the Quran. Muslim families, however, much more often write Dawud, Dawood or Daud, and in Poland Dawid is chiefly a Christian name. The meaning 'firm, devoted' that some lists give is not correct.
