Désirée, Desiree or Desirée (with other variations possible) is a feminine given name of French origin ultimately derived from the Latin word desiderata, meaning desired.[2] Desideria, an early version of the name and a feminine form of Desiderius, was in use in Europe as early as the 800s.[3] The Puritans used the name Desire as a virtue name.[4]
