Page "David Niven" Paragraph 7

David Niven was born in London to William Edward Graham Niven ( 1878 – 1915 ) and Henrietta Julia Degacher.

He was named David for his birth on St. David's Day ( 1 March ).

Niven often claimed that he was born in Kirriemuir, in the Scottish county of Angus in 1909, but his birth certificate shows this was not the case.
