Traits and personality

It's directly associated with triumph and overcoming adversity — the name's own meaning — which is why it tends to be linked to tenacious personalities. Under Pythagorean numerology, the initials D, M and V map to the number 4: a practical, hardworking character — loyal and patient, with a real inclination to help others. These are traditional readings, not a rule: everyone ends up becoming who they choose to be, whatever name they carry.
