Dawe Origin and Meaning

The name Dawe is a boy's name.

Dawe is an uncommon masculine name with medieval English origins. It developed as a diminutive form of David, which means 'beloved' in Hebrew. Historically, Dawe was used as both a given name and surname in England during the Middle Ages. The name also has associations with the bird species, as 'daw' refers to the jackdaw, a type of crow. Dawe has a simple, strong sound with its single syllable and soft ending. While rare in modern usage, it offers an interesting alternative to more common forms like Dave or David. The name's historical roots and natural association give it both depth and character despite its brevity.
