About the name Edmara
In the Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), Edmara appears under two elements. Ed- comes from Anglo-Saxon ead, 'wealth, possessions', also found in Edgar, Edna and Eduardo. The ending -mara has a disputed origin: it may be a hypocoristic of Maria, Hebrew marah ('bitterness') or Tupi marã ('evil'). Because the origin of -mara is uncertain, the meaning of Edmara is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,726 people named Edmara, with a median age of 36, almost always women and mostly born in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Proportionally, it is most common in Espírito Santo.
