What Davit means
Where Davit comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Davit is the Georgian and Armenian form of David, a name that reaches back to the Hebrew Dawid and its meaning of beloved. That meaning has held steady for roughly three thousand years. The English says beloved, the Polish says ukochany, and the sense has not drifted far from where it started.
In Georgia the name belongs to a remembered figure. David IV, called Davit Aghmashenebeli, the Builder, ruled from 1089 to 1125 and is honored as a saint. Armenian tradition kept its own Davit, the philosopher David the Invincible, who taught in the sixth century. The name still runs through both countries.
The meaning stays simple. On a Polish class register the form Dawid is the one a teacher reads, while Davit marks the Georgian and Armenian branch of the same Hebrew root, beloved.
