About the name Elzimar
The origin of the spelling Elzimar is uncertain. The Morphemary of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) gives the ending -mar three possible origins: Germanic -mar, 'glory, fame'; a fragment of Maria; or the Portuguese noun *mar*, 'sea'. The beginning resembles Elza, which the same Morphemary considers probably Germanic, from Elsa or Else, a diminutive of Elisabeth.
