About the name Josilaine
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes the element Josi-, or Jozi-, as of uncertain origin, and gives Josimar as the oldest name found, probably a variant of Josemar. The ending -laine recalls -lane, which the same Morfemário says is of uncertain origin, perhaps from English Lanie or French -ane, and which it cites in Josilane. That Josilaine combines exactly these elements is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 3,139 people named Josilaine, almost always women, with a median age of 34.
