Dov is a fairly common Hebrew name. It means bear and sometimes there is a bear on the individuals's matzevah (gravestone)
The Yiddish equivalent is Baer.

I'm sorry if this sounds silly but in researching a brother of the ancestor, his lists his father's name as Dove on the death certificate. There is nothing on the tombstone. I don't see the name anywhere else in the family and the family I believe is from Poland. I've not seen Dove as a name before and was wondering if it is short, Yiddish, or nickname for something else. He lists his mother as Annie which 2 out of the 4 sons have daughter's named Fannie.
Thanks,
