About the name Elivaldo
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Elivaldo as Eli- + -valdo and records Helivaldo as a spelling variant. The element -valdo comes from Germanic, with hypotheses that include walt/wald, 'the one who rules'; Eli-, on the other hand, has a doubtful origin. Because the origin of one of the elements is uncertain, the meaning of the full name remains open. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 5,922 people named Elivaldo, with a median age of 43. Proportionally, it is most common in Amapá. It is an almost always male name, given mostly to people born in the 1970s and 1980s.
