About the name Elisvan
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil describes -van as being of doubtful origin: perhaps a hypocoristic form of -vando, a variant of -vandro (a fragment of names such as Evandro), or a fragment of the Russian Ivan. The beginning Elis- recalls the element Eli-, also of doubtful origin, which Machado links to the biblical name Eliel; for Elisvan as a whole, the origin is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,130 people named Elisvan, with a median age of 33, almost always men, most of them born between 1970 and 1999. Proportionally, it is most common in Maranhão.
