About the name Edenir
Edenir begins with Ede-, an element that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links to the Anglo-Saxon Germanic ead, 'wealth, goods', and that appears in names such as Edenildo and Edenilton. The origin of the ending -nir and of the whole name is uncertain, so the meaning is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,013 people named Edenir, with a median age of 55, and the name is used by men and by women. The largest group was born in the 1960s.
