About the name Eliton
Eliton begins with Eli-, an element that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) considers to be of doubtful origin: perhaps it comes from the given name Eli, which Machado links to the biblical name and explains as an abbreviation of Eliel, 'God (is) high', or from names such as Eliane and Eliete. The same beginning appears in Brazilian names such as Elielton, Elivaldo and Elivan, listed in the Morfemário. The origin of the ending -ton and of the name as a whole is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 10,692 people named Eliton, with a median age of 29. The name is almost always male and, proportionally, it is most common in Acre.
