ArchivesRe: I never asked for the Spanish form... nt
in reply to a message by Andy
David IS a lovely name. I personally like Tavita, which according to Kolatch (the New Name Dictionary - a book on Hebrew names), is a form of Tavi, which is a female form of David. But also, possibly from Latin origin. Meaning “eighth”.

Hi, Magia!
Forget Kolatch! He writes so much rubbish!
TAVITA is beautiful, but I can't imagine it has really to do with DAVID (even though Taavi in Finnish is DAVID – wonder, wonder …).
I would look upon it as a variant of TABIT(H)A.
The Latin "eight" explanation (OK-TAVIUS) sounds interesting, but no really convincing.
Andy ;—)
P.S.: Anything happening with the E-mail for the Carmelites?

Hmmm... didn't know the Kolatch was crap, LOL!
And yes I like Tabitha rather than Tavita. Tavita is my grandmother's nickname. Her full name is Haydée Octavie Teresa (she is Belgian), so the love for Tavita come from Octavie, actually, but being it that Tavita (spelled like this) is not a registered name, I went and made up a good excuse for myself so that I can like it, spelled Tavita and defend it as a real name...LOL!
Ps.: About that Carmelites e-mail, I am working on it, but I was thinking, since you said you speak latin, wouldn't ti be easier to send it in Latin? I am quite sure the Carmelites speak Latin as well.
