About the name Edilane
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil gives the formation of Edilane as Edi- + -lane and lists Edelane, Edlane, Edylane and Hedilane as spelling variants. Its Morfemário links Edi- to the Anglo-Saxon ead, 'wealth, possessions', and says -lane has an uncertain origin, perhaps from the English name Lanie or from the French -ane with a linking L. For this reason the full name has no documented meaning. It is almost always a female name, and most of the people recorded were born in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 9,865 people named Edilane, with a median age of 32.
