דייויד

David is an English-Hebrew spelling of the famous biblical name דָּוִד (David), which carries a rich heritage and profound meaning in Jewish and world culture. The name David derives from the Hebrew root ד-ו-ד (D-V-D), meaning 'beloved' or 'friend,' expressing affection, closeness, and love. The spelling 'דייויד' reflects the English pronunciation of the name and the influence of Western culture on modern Hebrew language, and is particularly common among English-speaking families or those with cultural connections to the Western world. The central figure of King David forms the foundation for the name's enormous influence throughout the generations. King David, the second of the united kings of Israel, is considered one of the most influential figures in both Jewish and Christian history. He was a young shepherd who became king, a brave warrior who defeated Goliath the Philistine, a poet and composer of Psalms, and founder of the royal dynasty from which, according to tradition, the Messiah will emerge. King David conquered Jerusalem and made it his kingdom's capital, and he dreamed of building the Holy Temple, a plan fulfilled by his son Solomon. King David's life is characterized by contrasts: on one hand, he was a man of war and brilliant military leader, and on the other, a sensitive poet and deeply spiritual person. His life story includes moments of greatness and downfalls, passionate loves and family tragedies, presenting a complex and multidimensional human figure that has captured the imagination of artists, writers, and composers for thousands of years. The name David carries numerous spiritual and cultural meanings. In Kabbalah, the name David symbolizes the balance between the spiritual and material dimensions, between heaven and earth. The Star of David, the famous Jewish symbol, is composed of two triangles pointing toward each other - one upward and one downward - representing the union of soul and body, of the spiritual and earthly. Additionally, King David is perceived as the father of Hebrew poetry, as the author of Psalms that serve as a source of inspiration and comfort to this day. The spelling 'דייויד' combines ancient tradition with contemporary modernity, allowing name bearers to connect to this rich heritage while maintaining an international and contemporary identity. The name is particularly popular among Jewish communities in the Anglosphere and in Israel, expressing the desire to preserve tradition while adapting to the modern and global world.

In Kabbalah, the name David carries special significance as representing the perfect balance between heavenly and earthly dimensions. The Star of David, two interlocking triangles, symbolizes the union of masculine and feminine, light and darkness, Chesed and Gevurah. The gematria of David is 14, which divides into 7+7, the perfect number representing completeness and cyclicality. King David is considered the soul-root of the Messiah, and therefore the name carries the energy of redemption, tikkun olam (repairing the world), and unity.
