Icon of person Saint David

Davide di Menevia, o del Galles, conosciuto in gallese come Dewi Sant (512 circa – St David's, 590 circa), è stato un monaco cristiano e vescovo gallese, venerato come santo sia dalla Chiesa anglicana che dalla Chiesa cattolica. È il patrono del Galles. La sua data di nascita non è certa, ma si ritiene che sia nato attorno al 512. Rhygyfarch, agiografo del tardo XI secolo e autore di una vita di Davide, scriveva che questi era il figlio del sanctus rex ceredigionis, dove santo è stato interpretato come un nome proprio e identificato con Sandde, re di Ceredigion.
