Meaning of the name דפי

Daphi is a rare and special Hebrew feminine name with deep roots in the Hebrew language and Jewish tradition. The name derives from the root D-P-I, which appears in the Bible and rabbinic literature with various meanings related to pushing, pulsing, and movement. In its broader sense, the name connects to the concept of pulse - the heartbeat, the internal rhythm of life - and symbolizes vitality, movement, and inner energy. This name carries a sense of lightness and delicacy while expressing inner strength and meaningful presence. In Talmudic and Midrashic tradition, the root D-P-I appears in various contexts describing movement and action. The word "dofi" itself refers to rhythm and pulse, to something that lives and breathes, that has life and constant movement.
