About the name Elizane

The ending -ane appears in many feminine given names and, according to the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), comes from French -anne, a language where it already works as a formative of personal names; the Morfemário lists Juliane and Luciane among the Brazilian names with this ending. The origin of Eli-, the beginning of names such as Eliana and Eliete, is doubtful in that source, so the meaning of Elizane is not known for certain. Almost always female, the name is concentrated among people born from the 1970s to the 1990s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,635 people named Elizane, with a median age of 37. Proportionally, it is most common in Pará.
