Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Beloved; son of David

Whether or not your name is David, this boy's name is a classic choice for your little one. Davies has Hebrew, Old English, and Welsh roots and can mean either "son of David" or "beloved." It's one of the most popular surnames in Wales and England, borne by the likes of Doctor Who screenwriter Russell T. Davies, but can act as a stylish first name and alternative to Davis.
