Dawud

Meaning of Dawud

Dawud skips into the world like a sunrise over the Sahara. This Arabic gem is the proud cousin of David and means “beloved,” a name wrapped in golden light. Parents imagine a tiny hero, a storyteller with a fearless heart. They feel the rhythm in each syllable—dah-WOOD—like a drumbeat at a seaside fiesta. In the USA, this name shimmers at rank 880 with 44 little ones named Dawud in 2024, dancing in the top 1000 for decades as steady as maracas in a carnival. Dawud carries echoes of a shepherd-king who sang under starlit skies and weaves Arabic roots with Latin zest, like flamenco steps tracing desert dunes. Dawud is a song of love, legend, and laughter.
