Tips
culture
大卫 (Dàwèi) is the standard Mandarin transliteration of 'David' — 大 (dà, 'big') for the 'Da' sound and 卫 (wèi) for the 'vid'/'wi' sound. 王 (wáng) means 'king', appended as a title (compare 亚瑟王 King Arthur, 路易十四王 King Louis XIV).
history
In Chinese Christian and biblical contexts, 大卫王 specifically refers to the Old Testament king who slew Goliath (歌利亚, Gēlìyà), wrote many of the Psalms (《诗篇》), and ruled Jerusalem (耶路撒冷, Yēlùsālěng).
