About the name Jacimar
Jacimar combines Jaci- and -mar, but no source documents the name as a whole. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) records Jaci- as a probable fragment of Jacira, perhaps from Tupi, with the sense of 'moon'. For -mar, it gives three possible origins: Germanic, with the sense of 'glory, fame', a fragment of Maria, or the noun mar. IBGE recorded 1,186 people named Jacimar in the 2022 Census, with a median age of 53. Proportionally, it is most common in Espírito Santo.
