Desideria is the feminine form of Latin Desiderius, built on desiderium "longing, ardent wish," and thus means "the desired or longed-for one," often chosen for a hoped-for child. It entered the Christian name stock via late-antique saints and bishops named Desiderius; the feminine crystallized later in Romance usage.

Use has centered in Catholic Europe, especially Italy and Spain, while Nordic awareness rose with Queen Desideria of Sweden and Norway (born Désirée Clary), who adopted the Latinized court name in the 19th century.
