About the name Eliamar
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes the similar name Elimar as Eli- + -mar. Its Morfemário (morpheme guide) says -mar has at least three possible origins, Germanic -mar ('glory, fame'), a splinter of Maria, or the Portuguese noun mar, 'sea', and that it is the formative with the greatest gender variation. The origin of Eli- is doubtful, perhaps linked to the given name Eli. The exact formation of Eliamar is not documented, so its origin is uncertain. Most of the records are female, but there are men too, and most were born in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,149 people named Eliamar, with a median age of 51; proportionally, it is most common in Goiás.
