About the name Erisvan
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) treats -van as a formative of doubtful origin, perhaps a hypocoristic of -vando or taken from names such as Ivan, which comes from the Russian Iwan, 'John'. The beginning Eris- has no documented origin, so the meaning of the whole name is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 2,645 people named Erisvan, with a median age of 32. Almost always male, it has most of its records among people born from 1980 to 2009, and proportionally it is most common in Maranhão.
