Deku means useless, but Midoriya flipped that script real quick!
As someone who's binged the show a dozen times, Deku stands for Midoriya's transformation from 'useless' to 'you can do it!' It's a testament to his growth and perseverance.
Deku originally starts as a mocking nickname from Bakugo meaning 'useless' or 'can't do anything,' but our boy Midoriya owns it! He turns it into a symbol of 'you can do it!' Now, that's character development!
