About the name Gilcimar
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) cites Gilcimar as an example of the element Gil-, of uncertain origin, perhaps taken from given names such as Gilberto, and of the ending -mar. That ending may come from a Germanic element meaning 'glory, fame', from a fragment of Maria, or from the noun mar, the Portuguese word for 'sea'. Which of these origins applies to this name is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 3,153 people named Gilcimar, almost always men, with a median age of 39.
