Enormous variation in spelling and form characterizes those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. This is caused by two main factors: regional tradition, and inaccuracies in the recording process. Before the last few hundred years, scribes spelled names according to their sounds. Spelling variations were the unsurprising result. The variations of David include Davide, David, Davidi, Davidde, Davidico, Dàvid, Davìd, Davit and many more.

First found in the city of Venice and can be traced back to the 14th century, with Antonio David, an ecclesiastic at the time.
