About the name Edimar
The Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes Edi- as a formative from the Anglo-Saxon Germanic ead, 'wealth, goods', and gives three possible sources for -mar: Germanic mar, 'glory, fame', a shortening of Maria, or the noun mar ('sea'). Edmar appears in the Morfemário among the traditional names of the two elements. Because -mar admits more than one reading, the meaning of Edimar is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 30,294 people named Edimar, a name almost always male, with a median age of 44. Proportionally, it is most common in Tocantins.
