Around the world, デジレ (Desire 
, Désiré , Désirée 
) is a common unisex first name. The forename デジレ is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Cameroon, where it is quite a common mostly boy's, but infrequently female name, Mauritius, and Madagascar, where it is quite a common principally boy's, but scarcely feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ethiopia. Very seldom, デジレ is the last name as well as the forename.
デジレ is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Desire , the fictional character from The Sandman series; Desire Annable , the operatic character in the opera Merry Mount by Howard Hanson; Desire , the musical character in the musical Bad Boy Johnny and the Prophets of Doom and Désirée , the fictional character appearing in the movie « Gerontophilia ».
