Desey is in Origin.

Desey is a modern, rare given name in English, most often a creative respelling of Daisy or a nickname form related to Desirée/Desiderio. As a Daisy variant, it connects to the Old English phrase dæges ēage, “day’s eye,” the folk name for the daisy that opens with the sun; Daisy rose as a given name in the 19th‑century British flower-name vogue and also as a pet form of Margaret via French Marguerite (“daisy”). In Romance-language pathways, Desey can echo Desirée/Desideria, from Latin desiderium, “desire; longing.”

Usage is sporadic in late 20th–21st century records in the U.S., U.K., and Australia, where inventive -y endings are common. Related variants include Daisy, Daisie, Daizy, Deysi, Desi, Desy, Dezzy, and Désirée; potential diminutives are Des, Dee, and Zee. Meanings typically read as “day’s eye” or “desired,” depending on the chosen lineage.
