About the name Gracimar
The Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes -mar as a formative that may come from Germanic -mar ('glory, fame, brilliant person'), be a shortening of Maria, or be the noun 'mar' (Portuguese for 'sea'), and notes that it forms names of both genders. The formation of the first element, Graci-, is not documented, so the meaning of the name as a whole is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,117 people named Gracimar, with a median age of 48. Proportionally, it is most common in Amazonas.
