Origen e historia

Welsh and English patronymic surname meaning 'son of David', where David derives from the Hebrew 'Dawid', probably meaning 'beloved' or 'uncle'. St David is the patron saint of Wales, which accounts for the overwhelming prevalence of Davies in Welsh communities — it ranks among the top three surnames in Wales. The spelling 'Davis' is the standard English variant while 'Davies' is distinctly Welsh.
