"Daahoud," sometimes spelled "Dawud," means "David" in Arabic. Brown named the composition after Talib Dawud, a trumpet-playing acquaintance – with Dizzy and Lee Morgan – in Philadelphia from the early 1950s.
Brown, on June 26, 1954, married LaRue Anderson (maiden; 1933–2005).[i] He called her "Joy Spring," and, in her honor, composed a piece in her name in 1954. They had been introduced by Max Roach.
