Desales is of Latin origin, derived from 'de Salles', which translates to 'of the halls'. It was originally a surname, but has evolved into a given name over time. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages in France, particularly among nobility. In literature, Desales is notably associated with the French writer Pierre de Ronsard, who dedicated one of his sonnets to a woman named Desalles.
"In 1916 alone, there were five babies named Desales."
