Beloved
Daven is likely a modern variant of the Hebrew name David, or a shortened form of the Scandinavian name Davenport. It combines the familiar sounds of David and Devin, offering a contemporary feel while retaining a traditional meaning. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Yiddish word for prayer, though as a given name, it is primarily an English innovation.
