About the name Edemar
The origin of Edemar is uncertain. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links the beginning Ed-, Edi- or Ede- in several names, among them Edemario and Edenildo, to Old English ead, which indicates wealth or possessions. For the ending -mar, the same Morfemário gives three possible origins: the Germanic element meaning glory or fame, a piece taken from Maria, or the Portuguese word mar, 'sea'. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 6,588 people named Edemar, with a median age of 54. Proportionally, it is most common in Rio Grande do Sul. The name is almost always male and appears mostly among people born in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
