About the name Edilene
The Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil lists Edilene among the Brazilian names with the element Ed-/Edi-, which it traces to Anglo-Saxon ead, 'wealth, goods', as in Edite and Eduardo. The ending -lene, from Marlene and Marilene, probably comes from the French -enne or from fragments of names such as Irene and Marlene. Behind the Name suggests that Edilene may be a variant of Adelina or a feminine elaboration of Edílson, and the meaning of the whole is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 68,313 people named Edilene, with a peak among those born in the 1980s; proportionally, the name is most common in Pernambuco.
