About the name Cleidineia
Cleidineia ends in -néia, which the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) treats as perhaps taken from given names such as Dulcinéia (a creation of Cervantes in Don Quixote, from Dulce) or perhaps a feminine variant of the formative Ney. The initial elements have no documented derivation, so the meaning of the whole name remains open. Most were born in the 1970s and 1980s, and almost all are women. IBGE recorded 1,289 people named Cleidineia in the 2022 Census, with a median age of 40. Proportionally, it is most common in Bahia.
