About the name Francislei
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) gathers Franc-, Franci- and Francis- in a single entry, from Germanic frank, with names such as Francisca, Francisco and Franciele. The ending -lei recalls that of Vanderlei, which the dictionary links to Dutch "von der Ley" and whose group of names varies between the sexes, but the formation of Francislei itself is not documented, and for that reason the meaning of the name is not known. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,403 people named Francislei, with a median age of 38. Proportionally, it is most common in Minas Gerais.
