The story of Deisi
Latin American families who loved English names often wrote them as Spanish spelling would represent the sound: Brayan for Bryan, Yeimi for Jamie, Deisi for Daisy. The result reads naturally in Spanish and looks new in English. The English name has its own history, and one of its most admired bearers was Daisy Bates, head of the Arkansas NAACP, who organized and protected the Little Rock Nine when they integrated Central High School.
