About the name Edimara
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links the element Ed-/Edi- to Anglo-Saxon Germanic ead, 'wealth, goods'. For -mara, it points to at least three possible sources: a hypocoristic form of Maria, Hebrew marah, 'bitterness', and Tupi marã, 'bad'. Since the second part has no single explanation, the meaning of Edimara is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 5,618 people named Edimara, with a median age of 35; the 1980s are the most frequent decade. The name is almost always female.
