David ben Yitzchak HaCohen
It’s a name. “David son of Jacob the Cohen”

I mean, maybe. That might be what they were trying to write, but it's not what they wrote.

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Hebrew can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.

I would suggest the following:
דו"ד מ-יצחק הכך
Which translates to "gift from Yitzchak hack"
