About the name Dejaci
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes Dejaci as formed from Deja- and (ja)ci. The Morfemário says that Deja- has an uncertain origin, perhaps a fragment of Dejanira, and that Jaci- probably comes from Tupi, 'moon'. Because the meaning of the whole is not documented, the meaning remains open. The dictionary lists Djaci as a spelling variant. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 819 people named Dejaci, with more men than women and births concentrated from 1950 to 1970.
