Dezarae is a feminine name that appears to be a creative spelling variant of Desiree, which comes from the French 'désirée' meaning 'desired' or 'longed for.' This elaborate spelling gives the name a more distinctive, contemporary feel while maintaining its romantic French roots. Dezarae has gained modest popularity in recent decades, appealing to parents seeking a name with both elegance and modern flair. The 'z' adds a touch of uniqueness and vibrancy to the name. With its flowing sound and meaningful origin, Dezarae conveys femininity with a slight edge. The name carries a sense of being special or cherished, reflecting its original meaning of being desired.

In centuries gone past, no one would have considered this occupational surname for their daughter; tanners were associated with terrible smells and stained skin as a result of the processes used to treat hides to make leather. But now, we see increasing numbers of parents in the US choosing this for their girls. Given the popularity of other two-syllable T names like Taylor and Tyler, Tanner has some appeal for those looking for a non-frilly name for their girls. For what it is worth, we prefer the Greek name Tana, which has an infinitely more pleasant meaning.
