About the name Erinaldo
Erinaldo ends in -naldo, an element that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) groups with -aldo, -baldo and -valdo and links to Germanic roots, such as walt, 'the one who rules', or hard, 'strong', among others. The same Morfemário cites, with this ending, traditional names such as Reinaldo and Reginaldo and Brazilian names such as Edinaldo and Erisvaldo. The origin of the beginning Eri- is not known for certain, and the formation of the whole name is not documented. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 17,502 people named Erinaldo, with a median age of 41. The name is almost always male and, proportionally, most common in Rio Grande do Norte.
