Where the Davis name comes from

English and Welsh patronymic meaning 'Dafydd's (son)', equivalent to Welsh ap Dafydd; Dafydd is the Welsh form of David. The Davis spelling is most typical from southwestern England up to Lancashire, largely reflecting Welsh migration. In Ireland and Scotland it was adopted for Gaelic Mac Daibhéid 'son of David'.

Spellings and related forms: Davies, Davison, Davidson, Davids, Mac Daibhéid, McDevitt.

About this crest

Davis means "son of David", and David is usually read as "beloved".

Most surnames have no single "family crest". In heraldry, a coat of arms belonged to one person and passed down one line of descent. Sites that sell "the Davis coat of arms" usually show the arms of one historic family that shared the name. Ours is different on purpose: an original design built from what the name means, which any Davis can own honestly.

Questions

Is this the official Davis coat of arms?

No. Coats of arms were granted to individual people, not to everyone who shares a surname, so there is no single Davis coat of arms that every Davis can claim. This crest is our own original design. The shield shows a heart, chosen from the meaning of the name.

Can I change the text?

Yes. The family name is always Davis. Type your own line underneath: a year, first names or a place. Leave it empty if you want the name alone.

Do I see it before it is printed?

Yes. We email you a proof of your exact artwork before anything is printed. Nothing goes to production until you approve it.

How long does it take?

Each piece is printed to order in the USA. Printing takes up to 10 business days, then a few days in the mail, so allow 2 to 3 weeks. US shipping is free. Ordering for a date? Order early.

What if it arrives damaged or misprinted?

Tell us within 30 days with a photo and we reprint it at no charge. Because every piece carries your name, we cannot take back an item that arrived as approved.
