About the name Admilson
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) includes Admilson among the Brazilian names with the formative Ad-, Ade-, Adi-, probably taken from traditional names such as Aderbal, and cites José Pedro Machado, for whom Admilson occurs in Brazil and is probably an analogical formation based on English names. The ending -ilson appears in the Morfemário as a probable fragment of Nilson and Wilson, English names of patronymic origin in which -son means 'son of'. The meaning of the name as a whole is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 12,089 people named Admilson, with a median age of 47, most of them born in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
