Davy is a gender-neutral name meaning that means "beloved" or "son of David." It's a diminutive of the Hebrew David, or the Old English Davis, so it's a sweet way if you want to incorporate a traditional family name. David comes from the element dod, which means "beloved," and is a prominent name in the Jewish Bible and Christian Old Testament, as David slew the giant Goliath and became the king of Israel. Davis, meanwhile, is a variant of David used as a surname with the meaning of "son of David." With Davy, you get a touch of history with some modern cuteness thrown in for good measure, alongside a reminder to baby that you will always cherish them.
