Davidsin

Davidsin is a surname that appears in some Western naming traditions as a patronymic form meaning "son of David." The element David is the given name, and the suffix -sin or -sen signals a patronymic origin in certain Scandinavian and related naming systems, though Davidsin is far less common than the more widespread Davidson or Davidsen. The spelling Davidsin may have arisen through transliteration, clerical variation in immigration records, or regional dialect influence, and is found mainly in genealogical sources rather than contemporary official registries.

In terms of distribution, Davidsin is relatively rare and does not indicate a single modern national origin. It has been observed in North American records associated with immigrants from Scandinavian countries, as well as in small communities elsewhere where family lines preserve older spellings. Like other patronymics, it can shift over generations; some lineages that once used Davidsin later adopt Davidsen or Davidson in official documents.

Notable people with the surname Davidsin are not widely documented in major reference works; the name tends to appear in local histories, genealogical databases, or fiction rather than as widely recognized public figures.
