What is the meaning of the name Dezrae ?

Dezrae is English in Origin.

Dezrae is a modern English given name, most likely a creative respelling of the French name Désirée combined with the fashionable -rae ending. Désirée comes from Latin desiderare/desiderata, meaning to long for or to desire, giving Dezrae the sense of desired or wished-for. The -rae element reflects contemporary American naming patterns and can also echo Rae, a short form used independently or as a feminine middle name.

While rare, Dezrae fits within the broader history of Désirée in Western Europe and North America, boosted by the fame of Désirée Clary, the 19th-century Queen of Sweden and Norway. Usage of Desiree-forms rose in the late 20th century; Dezrae appears mainly in 21st-century records. Variants and cognates include Désirée, Desiree, Desirae, Dezirae, Deziree, Deziray, Dezeray, Dezaray, and Desrae. Nicknames: Dez, Rae, and Desi. Common pronunciation: DEZ-ray.
