About the name Clodoaldo

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil refers Clodoaldo to the entry Clodualdo, where it cites Machado (1981): with a question mark, he points to a probable Germanic origin, with hlot, 'fame', and alda, 'old'. Because of this doubt, the meaning of the name is not known for certain. The Morfemário of the same dictionary includes Clodoaldo among the traditional names ending in -aldo, a formative of several possible Germanic origins. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 21,498 people named Clodoaldo, more than half of them born in the 1970s; proportionally, the name is most common in Paraná.
