About the name Cleomar
The origin of Cleomar is not known for certain. The name ends in -mar, a formative that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) explains through three possible sources: Germanic -mar, 'glory, fame', a splinter of Maria, or the noun mar, 'sea'. The same Morfemário notes that -mar is the formative that varies most between male and female names, and Cleomar follows that pattern: it is given mostly to men, but also to women. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 11,903 people named Cleomar, with a median age of 43. Proportionally, it is most common in Tocantins.
