Dava (Latin alphabet plural davae) is a Geto-Dacian name for a city, town or fortress. Generally, the name indicated a tribal center or an important settlement, usually fortified. Some of the Dacian settlements and the fortresses employed the Murus Dacicus traditional construction technique. Many city names of the Dacians were composed of an initial lexical element (often the tribe name) affixed to ''-dava'', ''-daua'', ''-deva'', ''-deba'', ''-daba'' or ''-dova'' (<PIE '' *dhe-'', "to set, place"). Most of these towns are attested by Ptolemy, therefore date from the 1st century CE. Therefore, dava 'town' derived from the reconstructed proto-Indo-European *dhewa 'settlement', cognate with Zazaki ''dewe'', meaning "village". == List of davae == Below is a list of Dacian towns which include various forms of ''dava'' in their name: * Acidava (''Acidaua''), a fortress town close to the Danube.
