Dovid

Dovid is a boy's baby name of Hebrew (via Yiddish) origin, the Yiddish and Eastern European Jewish form of David, from Hebrew Dawid, meaning 'beloved.'

Dovid is the traditional form of David used in Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi Jewish communities — particularly in Eastern European Jewish tradition and among Orthodox and Hasidic communities worldwide. It connects directly to the Hebrew biblical king-poet, but in the form that millions of Jewish families have carried through the diaspora for centuries.
