John David is a fusion of two timeless Hebrew names with strong biblical roots. John, meaning "God is gracious," is derived from the Hebrew Yochanan. It is famously associated with John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. Meanwhile, David translates to "beloved," which comes from the Hebrew Dawid or dod ("darling" or "loved by God"). David was Israel's second and greatest king, and according to the New Testament, Jesus was descended from him. While John David holds deep biblical significance, it also has modern appeal, as seen in actor John David Washington, known for his lead roles in Tenet and BlacKkKlansman.
