About the name Elimara
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Elimara as Eli- + -mara and lists Elymara and Helimara as spelling variants; the first record is from 1960 and the peak is in 1990. Its Morfemário (morpheme guide) says the origin of Eli- is doubtful, perhaps linked to the given name Eli, short for the biblical Eliel, and that -mara may come from a hypocoristic form of Maria, from Hebrew marah ('bitterness') or from Tupi marã ('evil'). Because the elements have different possible origins, the whole name has no certain meaning. It is almost always female, and most of the people were born in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,151 people named Elimara, with a median age of 31.
