About the name Irenilde
The ending -ilde is a feminine formative that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links to Germanic hild/hilde, "combat", and that appears in Brazilian names such as Josenilde and Ivanilde. The beginning resembles Irene, a name of Greek origin linked to "peace", but no source documents the formation of Irenilde itself, so the meaning of the whole is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 2,165 people named Irenilde, with a median age of 49. Proportionally, it is most common in Maranhão. The records are almost always female, and most were born in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
