Désiré is a feminine name of Latin origin. Most commonly used in France today, Désiré is as graceful as a ballerina’s pirouette. It comes from the Latin root dēsīdĕrātus, which it traces back to the fifth century when it came into use to mean “desired,” “wanted child,” or “expected child.” The roots of the name are also linked to the Latin word expĕto, which is linked to the English word for waiting. This name was also commonly found in England during the Middle Ages. A title that captures the excitement you feel waiting for your new arrival, Désiré will make an elegant fit for baby.
