About the name Elismar
Elismar ends in -mar, like Elimar, which the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil analyzes as Eli- + -mar. In that work's Morfemário (morpheme list), Eli- has a doubtful origin, perhaps linked to the biblical name Eli, and -mar may come from three sources: a Germanic element glossed as 'glory, fame', a piece of Maria, or the Portuguese word mar, 'sea'. The origin of Elismar as a whole is uncertain, and the meaning is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 8,820 people named Elismar, with a median age of 40.
