Meaning of Daven

Daven, pronounced DAY-vuhn, feels like a fresh spin on the time-honored Hebrew name David, meaning “beloved,” while its echo of the Yiddish verb for “to pray” adds a hint of soulful reflection. With its Anglo-American charm, this name has the right bounce for backyard adventures and the quiet depth for late-night stargazing. Daven conjures an image of a curious spirit—one moment building block kingdoms in the living room, the next pondering the secrets of the stars—always with kindness and confidence. Parents drawn to Daven often imagine a child who blends tradition with individuality, a loyal friend and natural leader rolled into one. It’s a name that inspires a journey filled with heart, hope, and a touch of wonder.
