About the name Diomar
The origin of Diomar as a whole is uncertain. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes -mar as a formative that may come from the Germanic mar ('glory, fame, bright person'), from a clipping of Maria, or from the noun mar, 'ocean', and lists Eliomar and Neomar among the Brazilian names with this ending. The same Morfemário notes that -mar is the formative with the greatest variation between male and female names, and Diomar is used by both men and women. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 8,816 people named Diomar, with a median age of 55. Proportionally, it is most common in Tocantins.
