About the name Elielson

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Elielson as Eli- + -elson. According to the work's Morfemário, -elson comes from the English Elson and probably from Nelson, an English name meaning 'son of Nell'; Eli- has a doubtful origin, perhaps the name Eli, which José Pedro Machado explains as a short form of Eliel, 'God (is) high'. For this reason the full name has no certain meaning. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 13,699 people named Elielson, with a median age of 32; proportionally, the name is most common in Amapá. The name is almost always male.
