Deetra

Deetra is a feminine name that can be an English version of the Irish Deirdre. Rooted in the Old Irish Derdriu or the word der, it can translate to “daughter,” “sorrowful” or “raging.” While this may sound a bit dark, this can be a lovely way to teach baby to express their sadness and anger in a safe, healthy way. If you like to lean into the mythical and macabre, Deetra may also remind you of Deirdre, the Irish heroine in the story The Fate of the Sons of Usnech. While this love story ends in tragedy, it can be a great way to encourage your little one’s love for folklore and cultural mythology.
