Origin
Meaning and history of Kingdavid
The name Kingdavid is a combination of two distinct names, "King" and "David." The first part, "King," is derived from the Old English word "cyning," which means "ruler" or "sovereign." This word has its roots in the Proto-Germanic word "kuningaz," which is related to the Gothic word "kunjis," meaning "family" or "kin." The second part, "David," is a Hebrew name that means "beloved" or "friend." It is derived from the Hebrew root "דוד" (dwd), which is related to the word "דוד" (dod), meaning "beloved."
The name Kingdavid is not found in any ancient texts or religious scriptures. However, the name David has a significant presence in the Bible, as it was the name of one of the most famous kings of ancient Israel. According to the biblical narrative, David was a shepherd who later became the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel and Judah, reigning from around 1010 BCE to 970 BCE.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Kingdavid are relatively recent and may have been influenced by the biblical name David and the concept of a king or ruler. One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Kingdavid was Kingdavid Sikahema, an American football player who was born in 1964 and played for the Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals in the National Football League (NFL) during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

FAQ
Kingdavid: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kingdavid?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 283 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kingdavid going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,211,146 US residents.
Is Kingdavid a common name?
We classify Kingdavid as "Very Rare". It ranks above 78.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 285 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kingdavid most popular?
The single biggest year for Kingdavid was 2018, when 31 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kingdavid is about 10 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Kingdavid in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kingdavid a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kingdavid in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Kingdavid still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kingdavid in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Kingdavid can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
