Daud

Meaning of Daud

Daud is a warm, lyrical name of Arabic origin—pronounced “dowd” (/daud/)—that travels effortlessly from the pages of the Quran to the bustling streets of Jakarta and beyond. As the Arabic form of David, meaning “beloved,” it carries the echoes of a storied king’s courage and poetic heart, yet feels fresh and understated in today’s world. Though still a rare gem on American birth certificates—hovering around 10–17 newborns per year and ranking near the 900s—its gentle rise suggests a growing admiration for names that blend timeless strength with quiet grace. Like the first light of dawn, Daud shines with the promise of loyalty, creativity, and leadership, inviting every little boy who bears it to write his own chapter in an enduring legacy.
