A name that is particularly prevalent in Wales, ‘Davis’ is of ancient Brythonic, or British, roots and is steeped in Celtic legend.
Its bearers feature prominently in the historical record – with Moll Davis the actress, singer and courtesan who was a mistress of King Charles 11, John Davis a famed navigator during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 and, on a note of infamy, Howell Davis was a notorious early eighteenth century pirate.
In the sciences, Ray Davis was a twentieth century Nobel Prize-winning American physicist and chemist, while in the world of politics, Jefferson Davis served as President of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War of 1861 to 1865.
Chronicled here are the rich and colourful tales of bearers of the Davis name.
