Desanka
d(e)-san-ka,
des(a)-nka
Origin:Slavic
Meaning:To happen, to occur
Desanka is a feminine name for the little one who'll start every day with a to-do list. From stroller excursions to post-nap cuddles, your tiny tot's agenda will be quite extensive! As a first name, Desanka has Slavic origins, stemming from desiti, a word meaning "to happen" or "to occur." Though baby's plans may sometimes be a little different from yours, you'll find joy in waiting to see what your busy kiddo does next! When it's time for sweet Desanka to make future plans, writing poetry could be a top contender, as Serbian poet Desanka Maksimović is their name's most well-known bearer.
