National Davis Day for the year 2024 is celebrated/observed on Friday, January 6th. There are until the next observance.

The sixth of January is National Davis Day, which has nothing to do with Bette Davis or Miles Davis. It’s all about the Davises, who are largely boys and men. There aren’t many Davises in the world because most parents name their child David when looking for names that begin with the letter “d.”That is not to imply that there are no Davises around the globe, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States, where Davis is a common name for English-speaking children or children born into mostly English households. All we know is that the Davises are distinct, dedicated individuals with exceptional leadership abilities.
