Deseret Name meanings & History
Deseret is a fairly unique name that has its origins in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The word "Deseret" is actually an ancient word that was used in the Book of Mormon to describe a honeybee, but it was later used by early members of the LDS Church to signify their efforts in building a new community in the Salt Lake Valley. Deseret means "honeybee" in the Book of Mormon, but when used as a name it has come to represent strength, industry, and community. This is a word from the Book of Mormon meaning "honeybee" in the language of the Jaredites, which is used to refer to the American state of Utah, officially nicknamed the "Beehive State". It is occasionally given as a name, perhaps due to its similarity to Desiree. Deseret is primarily used as a first name for baby girls.
