About the name Gilvaneide

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Gilvanei as Gilva(n)- + -nei. For Gil-, it points to an uncertain origin, perhaps a remnant of Gilberto, and cites Machado, who links it to a Germanic word for 'pledge'; for -van, the origin is also doubtful. The origin of the ending -eide and the meaning of the whole name are not known for certain. Almost always female, it appears mainly among people born in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 5,211 people named Gilvaneide, with a median age of 44. Proportionally, it is most common in Sergipe.
