From an early de rm - place-name, probably derived from de VL. *tovum ravine, gorge, from de la tubus tube, pipe. The exact formation is uncertain: it has been explained either as la *ad Tovānes at the ravine-dwellers or as la *tovātos places covered with ravine debris, with the latter considered somewhat more probable on the basis of the historical forms rm Thavate, rm Tavate (1365).“Davos”, Ortsnamen.ch / Porta Cultura, citing Andrea Schorta, Rätisches Namenbuch, vol. II, p. 673, and the Lexikon der schweizerischen Gemeindenamen. The traditional association with rm davo(s) behind is a folk etymology and is incompatible with the historical forms, which regularly begin with T-. Schorta later proposed an alternative derivation from la *octāvātum eighth, perhaps referring to an economic or administrative division, but this is less likely.Andrea Schorta (1988), Wie der Berg zu seinem Namen kam: Kleines Rätisches Namenbuch mit zweieinhalbtausend geographischen Namen Graubündens, Chur: Terra Grischuna, p. 83.
