Davie

Meaning of Davie

Davie is a breezy Scottish pet-form of the Hebrew name David, meaning “beloved,” and it has long wandered happily across the Atlantic. In Scotland you might still hear it shouted on a football pitch or sung in a folk ballad, while in small-town America it feels like the friendly kid who offers you a spare Popsicle on a hot July afternoon. Because the nickname was never tied too tightly to one gender, modern parents now treat Davie as comfortably unisex—an upbeat alternative to the sturdier David or the edgier Davey. Pop-culture sprinkles include everyone from legendary jazz pianist Davie Tough to indie-rock references in songs that rhyme “Davie” with “crazy,” so the name carries a quietly creative vibe. Short, sweet, and easy to spell, Davie wears its “beloved” meaning on its sleeve, offering a sense of warmth and loyal companionship that can follow a child from story-time through adulthood.
