Ancestry says this; note that "patronymic" means named for your father, so "Davis" is a corruption of "David's Son". Note also that many, many non-English persons who came to the US changed how they spelled their name or had it changed, so even if someone's surname is Davis now, his/her immigrant ancestor may not have been English.
