Deise is Brazilian, Irish, Portuguese in Origin.

Deise (also spelled Déise) is primarily a Brazilian Portuguese feminine given name, adapted from the English Daisy. In this usage it shares the flower’s etymology, from Old English dæges ēage, “day’s eye,” referencing the blossom that opens by day. It entered Brazilian name lists in the mid-20th century, rising with Anglophone cultural influence and the vogue for English-sounding names. Common spellings include Deise, Déise, Deyse, Deisy, Deizi and, in English contexts, Daisy; related forms include Dayse and Daysi.

In Ireland, Déise is the name of an ancient Gaelic people and the Waterford region associated with them; as a personal name it is rare and functions more as an ethnonym or place-derived tribute than a traditional forename. Because of these twin associations, Deise can signal either a cheerful, nature-inflected image or a nod to Irish heritage, depending on context.
