About the name Eliomar

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Eliomar as Eli(o)- plus -mar. In the work's morpheme list, the origin of Eli- is given as doubtful, perhaps linked to the biblical name Eli, a short form of Eliel; for -mar, three possible sources converge: the Germanic -mar, 'glory, fame', a clipping of Maria, or the noun mar, 'sea'. For this reason, the meaning of the whole is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 10,497 people named Eliomar, most of them born in the 1970s and 1980s.

Spelling without an initial H; it is the most common in the group and, proportionally, the most frequent in Bahia.
