About the name Cleidemar
The origin of Cleidemar as a whole is uncertain. The ending -mar is a name-forming element that the Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes with more than one possible origin: Germanic, an abbreviation of Maria, or the noun mar ('sea'). The beginning recalls the name Cleide, which the same dictionary, citing Machado (1981), links to Greek kleís, 'key'.
