The surname came from Saint Davinus or Davino , from Armenia who arrived at Lucca, where dead in june 3rd,1050:he re-converted some citizens of Lucca to Catholicism and the citizens changed their surname. The grave is on the Saint Michele al foro church in Lucca. The information may be also interpreted: Davini as "son of Davino", the latin declination or as derivation of the name David.
