Deari is a modern American coinage of uncertain origin, most often read as a fanciful spelling of the endearment "dear" with the fashionable -i ending of Demi and Dani. It has no traditional history or fixed meaning, and families choose it for its soft, affectionate sound. Deari was ranked beyond number 12,000 in 2015, moved into the 4,000s from 2020 and jumped to number 2,701 in 2025, its best rank so far, with 64 births.
