About the name Adeilde
The ending -ilde appears in the morpheme list of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), which links it to Germanic hild or hilde, 'battle', and lists it in names such as Clotilde and Edmilde. The same morpheme list describes the beginning Ade- as probably a fragment of traditional names such as Aderbal, perhaps linked to Adal- and Adel-, so no meaning is given for Adeilde as a whole. It is almost always a female name, and most of the people recorded were born between 1950 and 1989. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,617 people named Adeilde, with a median age of 54; proportionally, it is most common in Sergipe.
