About the name Carminda
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), citing Machado (1981), says that Carminda comes from Carmina, but with the suffix -inda instead of -ina. Behind the Name lists Carmina as a variant of Carmen, a medieval Spanish form of Carmel (the name of a mountain), whose spelling was altered by association with the Latin carmen, 'song'; for this reason the meaning of the root is not fixed with certainty. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,278 people named Carminda, with a median age of 68. Proportionally, it is most common in Rio de Janeiro. The name is almost always female, and most of the people were born before 1980.
