I believe it's the #2 or #3 most popular name in Armenia and it's not even mentioned. Here every guy is named "David" or "Hayk" or "Armen" (also David and Hayk are my favourite names ). Please mention Armenia too because it's really a very used (even overused) name here.
It is also used in Greek (Δαβίδ).
My brother's name is David and so was my great uncle's. I think it's only good for a middle name.

For over a century, David has remained in the top 50 names (for the US). It's not hard to see why.
The name "David" also has its roots in Armenia: David Sasun was a legendary military leader in ancient Armenia, as stated by a famous Armenian epic "David of Sasun"; there is also a monument erected for him in Armenia -- see the picture at: http://library.thinkquest.org/C005550/Englsite/Image/SDavid.htm.
This name has very deep roots in Armenia due to the famous Armenia's epic hero Sasuntsi David.
