Dafi
Dafi Origin and Meaning
Dafi is a versatile name used for boys in Welsh culture and in Israel. In Welsh traditions, Dafi functions as a diminutive of Dafydd (the Welsh form of David), carrying the inherited meaning 'beloved.' In Hebrew usage, particularly in Israel, Dafi stands independently and means 'laurel' or can relate to honey and sweetness. This short, modern-sounding name has gained moderate popularity in Israel while remaining distinctive in international contexts. With just two syllables, Dafi offers simplicity and ease of pronunciation across languages, contributing to its cross-cultural appeal. The name balances a contemporary feel with meaningful cultural roots, making it attractive to parents seeking a name that is both accessible and uncommon. Dafi's dual cultural heritage adds depth to its compact form.
