Weird as a name because it essentially means South Asian.

The spelling of the name is similar to the word "Desi" (dess-e), which is a collective term used to describe people from the Indian subcontinent (India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh). However I think this name could still work in English, as it's completely unrelated to the word.
Desi Arnaz Jr is an American actor and musician who was named after his also-famous father, Desi Arnaz Sr.

The late Cuban-American actor (I Love Lucy) Desi Arnaz is the (probably) best known person who had this name. It's traditionally only a masculine name. I cannot say I heard it in my years of Spanish studies outside of Desi Arnaz, who was mentioned in Poli-sci Spanish-language classes in reference to Cuba-USA relationships.

Can be a short form of Desirae.

This can be short for Destiny or Desideria.

Shortening of Desirée. I have an aunt who goes by that nickname.
