About the name Elivan
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Elivan under the elements Eli- and -van. The origin of Eli- is doubtful: the Morfemário relates it to the abbreviation of Eliel or to fragments of names such as Eliana, Eliete and Eliezer. The ending -van also has a doubtful origin and is perhaps a fragment of Ivan. For this reason the sense of Elivan is not known for certain. It is almost always a masculine name. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,192 people named Elivan, with a median age of 36. Proportionally, it is most common in Acre.
