Desiree is a French name from the Latin desiderata (desired.)
It was popular with early French Christians who often gave it to a daughter who had been very much longed for; although nowadays it more usually suggests a desirable or very attractive girl or woman.
In French it is pronounced de-zi-RAY, with an accent on the first "e."
